ACORN workers charged with forging voter registrations

I have very fond memories of Pittsburgh and people there. The city is doing me proud with this latest news.

The Obama-Acorn connection is huge. He wants them to participate in our national census. Do we really want morons who make up phony names for political purposes taking the census?

From the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Allegheny County District Attorney Stephen Zappala today charged seven employees of ACORN — the left-leaning Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now — with forgery and election law violations, saying they filed hundreds of fraudulent voter registrations during last year’s general election.

Mr. Zappala said there is no indication that any of the fraudulent registrations resulted in fraudulent votes. Rather, it appeared the workers were submitting fake or doctored registration forms in order to be paid their daily $40 wage.

The forgery counts — 51 in all — are third-degree felonies, the most serious of the charges brought today, Mr. Zappala said during a press conference today.



At present, he said, he has strong indications that a quota system, which is a misdemeanor in Pennsylvania, was in place in the ACORN registration drive here.

He said at least one of the ACORN registration workers had been fired from the group in 2006 for submitting fraudulent registrations, but was hired for last year’s drive.

The charges are part of a continuing investigation of ACORN, which has been targeted for election fraud in several other states where similar, fake voter registrations were filed by hourly employees apparently attempting to meet daily registration quotas in order to be paid.
