ACORN Added As Official U.S. Census Bureau Partner - No Background Checks On Hires

Acorn is such a BS organization. These guys go and trick old people to come down and vote when they wouldn't have made it out of the house. And who do old people vote for? Duh. It's obvious.

ACORN- the organization that's under investigation in so many states? This is due solely to the fact that Obama has past ties to ACORN. With any other president, ACORN would not have stood a chance. Here is the most heinous of politicians, the most narcissistic, rewarding incompetency and criminal behavior. Thank you, Dear Leader!

Acorn is being investigated because of false allegations by Republicans after they sent people to register to vote several times. Anyone that has ever signed a petition or for that matter registered to vote knows that you could sign several times if you went to several places or waited a while between signings. They can't refuse to let anyone register. All they can do is note that the registration is suspect, which they did when they thought it was suspicious.

ACORN epipomises the corrupt Obama presidency, election, etc. Past ties - no, continuing ties. Massive voting fraud, coersion, etc. Nice transparency, asshole!!!

Go ACORN, if it is true that ACORN is some kind of illegal organization then it's high time we have a counter activity to the repugnant caging that has been convicted of and is under a judicial order to stop but continues to this day. And if it irritates some repugnants all the better, how do you like me now. Oh by the way ACORN is completly legal and why would you have a problem with old people voting because you know how they would vote but needed a ride to to do so.

Theyre all leagal, until they get caught. If I see a red shirt at my door it will not be opened.

Some people watch too much FOX "NEWS".

Ah thats right they are legal, but the repugnant caging has been convicted and they are still doing it. And if you don't understand caging try goggle, oh and yes 70,000 legal voters were caged in the election of 2000 in Florida by the repugnants. Man what SHAME we had to endure that retard W because of the illegal caging activities by the repugnant party. It's estimated 4 million democratic voters were caged in the 2008 election and Obama still overcame and kicked your asses. That means his current 64% approval rating is right on the money.

Marilyn Murry: some don't watch enough Fox! lol

YOU, IDIOTS. there was no "voter fraud". There was voter REGISTRATION fraud. this was dealt with by the local election offices and by the organization itself. I know, i worked next to them, it was sketchy, but it never put the voting process at risk and only A COMPLETE RETARD would try and claim it did because they DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THE WAY THINGS WORK.

Acorn gives people jobs, and they aren't easy jobs because 1/3 people has the same backwards ass ignorance as people on this thread and they have to deal with them daily. I wouldn't do it for life, hell no.

god...so much ignorance

jh64487 isn't it frustrating to get these people to understand the simplest things. It reminds me of trying to teach a two year old how to do something. Facts are always so hard for these people the facts just get in the way.

Before you have voter fraud, you have to have voter registration fraud. Early voting, absentee voting, as long as they are registered. My state, Mississippi, had more people registered to vote than there were people actually living in the state. My dad ran for judge a few years ago, we got a voter registration list for the district. Between my dad and me we found five people on the list we knew who were dead.

My guess is, those dead people did not vote. Getting to the polls when you're dead is a real problem.

What the hell is ACORN? It seems to be one of those little "buzz words" that make political junkies giggle.

It's a community organization that started out pretty small but has done a real good job of getting the people out to vote and give them a ray of hope that they to can be part of the solution if they just get out to vote.

I don't know if the dead people in my father's case voted or not, but I do know there have been cases where someone has voted in Memphis elections using dead people's names and been caught red handed doing it. The point is the dead people were eligible to vote. The people ACORN set up fraudulently were eligible to vote. Why would you set them up if you weren't going to have someone vote using that name? With early voting, absentee ballots, and most states not requiring ID to vote, we'll never know how many fraudulent votes there were. Trying to seperate voter fraud and voter registration fraud is a very weak arguement. You have to have one before you can do the other.

bullshit john, you give me concrete examples, not home town myths.

"Why would you set them up if you weren't going to have someone vote using that name? "

Because you're poor and you're doing a part time job that requires you to get a certain quota of registrants per hour. If not you get fired. Stupid.

ACORN got a lot of press coverage because of how large they are and because it made sensational news, not because it was an actual threat to democracy. Way to buy into biased news there johnny boy. As you no doubt remember all or nearly all the allegations were thrown out by judges as lacking in significant evidence. I think there were one or two cases of actual voter registration fraud but they were fully complied with by ACORN. In some cases I think ACORN BROUGHT the allegations to court. So what, the judges are all liberal and want to see democracy fail? And as noted by ACORN many if not most of the faulty registration forms were discovered because ACORN staff specifically labeled them as possibly illegitimate. We did that in my organization as well. We'd put any suspicious forms in a separate pile. In ours we actually called as many people as possible to verify. If it was too sketchy we'd fire the person. That's a tough position to be in though and people tend to want to give the benefit of the doubt at least once.

You wanna know what the REAL FRAUD was? The huge number of people who were removed from the voter registration rolls without any warning being given effectively destroying their ability to vote. Guess who pulled that little stunt. Republicans. That's ACTUAL voter fraud little man. and that's your side.

conclusion:

" "Even the general counsel of the RNC [Republican National Committee] has acknowledged that he cannot cite a single example of an improper vote having been cast as a result of alleged voter registration fraud," ACORN Executive Director Steve Kest said.'"

JH is absolutely right.

sounds like another youth group from Germany before WW2....
