NAACP Leader Convicted Massive Voter Fraud scheme

[Truthmatters]

Like I said

You are ok with it when liberals commit voter fraud.

your excuses for criminal activity show this to be so.

Why do you think poor people are stewpud and are unable to register themselves to vote?

what ACORN empoloyees did was not voter fraud.

I have condemed this woman and her antics.

Making it easier for people to registar to vote is not an insult.


You pretend the republican party has not tried to keep people from voting even in light of what the courts records contain.



What do you gain by denying the facts?

I get to watch you spin things around and around trying to make it look like libs have done nothing wrong ever.

It's funny.

But, as a poor person, it is an insult to me that liberals think I need help filling out voter registration.

Funny thing; When I was a registered dem, I got offers for help all the time. When I switched it to rep, that help vanished.

so I can only assume that libs think other libs, that are poor, are to dumb to know how to vote.

You assume that because you are dishonest.

Walking around your city and asking people if they would like to register to vote and providing a form and then turning it in for them is somehow evil to you?

I have done this before and its mostly older people with mobility problems, newly moved and young people who just havent done it yet.

You act like helping people legally vote is some damned crime but you are in heaven when people are kept from voting.


You do understand what America is about right?

In a story ignored by the national media, in April a Tunica County, Miss., jury convicted NAACP official Lessadolla Sowers on 10 counts of fraudulently casting absentee ballots. Sowers is identified on an NAACP website as a member of the Tunica County NAACP Executive Committee.

typical dishonest black behavior.

One of the good things about Obama winning the election is, it really brings out true colors. It really did.

Why do we require an ID to buy a gun, car, house or force those poor people recieving food stamps to show an ID ?

‪MASSIVE VOTER FRAUD IN PHILLY 78,000 ACORN REGISTRATIONS‬‏ - YouTube

You're ignoring the FACT that these were people hired to get paid for registrations. They were caught turning in phony registrations by ACORN officials. NONE of those phony registrations were cast as REAL votes. If you have any evidence to prove such, then please do so.

Bottom line: ACORN should have been shut down due to that embezzlement incident by one of it's own administrators, in which it was NOT reported to the proper authorities, but "handled" internally by the brother of the culprit...who put the money back and took a lower station in the organization.

Instead, ACORN gets canned by a bunch of panicky politicos eager to get ahead of the neocon propaganda machine. So the right thing happened for the wrong reasons.

And again for the intellectually bankrupt, the NAACP official acted alone, was NOT part of some conspiracy by the entire NAACP organization, was bagged and tagged. End of story, justice is done.

As usual for the Left, it depends on what the meaning of "is" is...

While I won't accuse you of being an unmitigated liar...the usual charge by the Left of those being in error, I will say that in the face of the following, a thinkig person would certainly change the import of your post....


"Although the organization prides itself for its registration efforts, it also has a long history of scandal. In the state of Missouri in 1986, 12 ACORN members were convicted of voter fraud. But that case was not an isolated incident in the state. In December 2004, in St. Louis, six volunteers pleaded guilty of dozens of election law violations for filling out registration cards with names of dead people and other bogus information. Authorities launched an earlier investigation after noticing that among the new voters was longtime St. Louis alderman Albert “Red” Villa, who died in 1990. The volunteers worked for “Operation Big Vote” — a branch of ACORN — in St. Louis.

On February 10, 2005, Nonaresa Montgomery, a paid worker who ran Operation Big Vote during the run-up to the 2001 mayoral primary, was found guilty of vote fraud. Montgomery hired about 30 workers to do fraudulent voter-registration canvassing. Instead of knocking on doors, the volunteers sat at a St. Louis fast food restaurant and wrote out names and information from an outdated voter list. About 1,500 fraudulent voter registration cards were turned in.

In October 2006, St. Louis election officials discovered at least 1,492 “potentially fraudulent” voter registration cards. They were all turned in by ACORN volunteers.
In November 2006, 20,000 to 35,000 questionable voter registration forms were turned in by ACORN officials in Missouri. Most all of these were from St. Louis and Kansas City areas, where ACORN purportedly sought to help empower the “disenfranchised” minorities living there. But the ACORN workers weren’t just told to register new voters. The workers admitted on camera that they were coached to tell registrants to vote for Democrat Claire McCaskill.

In 2007, in Kansas City, Missouri, four ACORN employees were indicted for fraud. In April of this year eight ACORN employees in St. Louis city and county pleaded guilty to federal election fraud for submitting bogus voter registrations.
And, that was just Missouri.

North Carolina — State Board of Elections officials have found at least 100 voter registration forms with the same names over and over again. The forms were turned in by ACORN. Officials sent about 30 applications to the state Board of Elections for possible fraud investigation.

Ohio — The New York Post reported that a Cleveland man said he was given cash and cigarettes by aggressive ACORN activists in exchange for registering an astonishing 72 times. The complaints have sparked an investigation by election officials into the organization, whose political wing has supported Barack Obama. Witnesses have already been subpoenaed to testify against the organization.

Nevada — Authorities raided the headquarters of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now on Tuesday October 7, 2008, after a month-long investigation. The fraudulent voter registrations included the Dallas Cowboys starting line-up.

Indiana — More than 2,000 voter registration forms filed in northern Indiana’s Lake County filled out by ACORN employees turned out to be bogus. Officials also stopped processing a stack of about 5,000 applications delivered just before the October 6 registration deadline after the first 2,100 turned out to be phony.

Connecticut — Officials are looking into a complaint alleging ACORN submitted fraudulent voter registration cards in Bridgeport. In one instance, an official said a card was filled out for a 7-year-old girl, whose age was listed as 27. 8,000 cards were submitted in Bridgeport.

Missouri — The Kansas City election board is reporting 100 duplicate applications and 280 with fake information. Acorn officials agreed that at least 4% of their registrations were bogus. Governor Matt Blunt condemned the attempts by ACORN to commit voter fraud.

Pennsylvania — Officials are investigating suspicious or incomplete registration forms submitted by ACORN. 252,595 voter registrations were submitted in Philadelphia. Remarkably, 57,435 were rejected — most of them submitted by ACORN.

Wisconsin — In Milwaukee ACORN improperly used felons as registration workers. Additionally, its workers are among 49 cases of bad registrations sent to authorities for possible charges, as first reported by the Journal Sentinel.

Florida — The Pinellas County Elections supervisor says his office has received around 35 voter registrations that appear to be bogus. There is also a question of 30,000 felons who are registered illegally to vote. Their connections with ACORN are not yet clear.

Texas — Of the 30,000 registration cards ACORN turned in, Harris County tax assessor Paul Bettencourt says just more than 20,000 are valid. And just look at some of the places ACORN was finding those voters. A church just next door is the address for around 150 people. More than 250 people claim a homeless outreach center as their home address. Some listed a county mental health facility as their home and one person even wrote down the Harris County jail at the sheriff’s office.

Michigan — ACORN in Detroit is being investigated after several municipal clerks reported fraudulent and duplicate voter registration applications coming through. The clerk interviewed said the fraud appears to be widespread.

New Mexico – The Bernalillo County clerk has notified prosecutors that some 1,100 fraudulent voter registration cards were turned in by ACORN.

That’s not all. So far this year at least 14 states have started investigations against ACORN. Talk about a culture of corruption. It is so bad that Representatives of Congress have asked for the Justice Department to investigate, and GOP presidential candidate John McCain is bringing it up in his stump speeches. The Obama camp is stealthily altering its “Fight the Smears” website to distance themselves from the organization — quite a challenge considering how close their candidate’s association has been with the group.

The liberal vs. conservative, voter fraud vs. voter intimidation debate will no doubt continue after this election. But this year, with the assistance of scandal-plagued ACORN, it appears that — so far — the voter fraud side is winning.

There's so much fraud going on, I hope the catch every cheater there is out there chalking up unearned votes by multiple means--death roles, nursing home room lists, asylums, and the like. I think 10 years should be made as the minimum sentence, no exceptions, and this corruption should be discouraged in America. It's sooooo third world country.

Now please show how any of that resulted in one false vote?

How many of those cards were turned in by ACORN themselves flagged as suspcious?


The right just refuses to stop the lies when in comes to ACORN bashing.

The heritage foundation is not an umbiased source.

They are a right wing think tank

Are you able to point out any errors in the methodology or conclusion?

A counter study to support you point?


Would you deny that the Left, read Democrat Party, not only endorses said voter fraud, but is working very hard to allow convicts to vote, as they seem to assume that convicts will vote in their favor.

Motivation seems to suggest that ACORN, a division of the Left, read, you know, has a strategy of fraud...and knows who it wished to recruit.

Or will you play dumb, pretend that you cannot connect the dots.
That's alright...it's what the Left does.

How many from the republican side have been charged with voter fraud?>

 

[taichiliberal]

At least 54 individuals employed by or associated with ACORN have been convicted of voter fraud.

Read more: Mississippi NAACP | Voter Fraud | Prison | The Daily Caller



Do you know who those 54 are?

they are temp workers who ACORN themselves turned into the authorities.

They would hire people to register people.

Those people would CHEAT Acorn by sitting at home and filling them out fraudulently to get money without really doing the job.

ACORN gained nothing from these false registration.

The whole purpose of there registration efforts was to get poor people voting.

false registrations resulted in no false votes.

Those are facts and the right has pretended something else happendx for politial purposes.

In other words the right has LIED about it to ruin ACORN so they would stop regestering poor people.


The lower the turnout of American voters the better the republican party does in elections.

That is why for decades they have worked to keep Americans from voting.

Its court documented fact.

For the record, ACORN should have had it's hierarchy canned/revamped due to that embezzling scandal that they did not report. THAT should have been the reason for it's defunding, not some trumped up and bull horned distortion/lie by right wingnut punditry.

What you put out here is dead on target, but it will be ignored by our resident neocon parrots, because they have to believe in the lie in order to avoid seeing the faults within theirselves and their leadership.

 

[taichiliberal]

1. ONE woman, a LOCAL NAACP official faked the votes of 10 people in 2007.

2. She has been caught, tried and convicted. Justice has been done.

3. She was acting under her own initiative...NO evidence has been presented or proved that she was acting under the direction of the NAACP heirarchy.

4. In 2004, 48 voter registrations by the NAACP was tagged as fraudulent.....those frauds were NOT counted as votes, as it is policy to vet ALL registrations by ALL groups and parties. There were no prosecutions or convictions to prove that there was a conspiracy by the NAACP in general to defraud the vote in any election.

This is why we need voter ID laws.

Nor does this inhibit minority voter turnout:

“The findings of this analysis suggest that voter identification requirements, such as requiring non-photo and photo identification, have virtually no suppressive effect on reported voter turnout.

Controlling for factors that influence voter turn¬out, states with stricter voter identification laws largely do not have the claimed negative impact on voter turnout when compared to states with more lenient voter identification laws.

Based on the Eagleton Institute's findings, some members of the media have claimed that voter identification law suppress voter turnout, especially among minori¬ties.[80] Their conclusion is unfounded. When statistically significant and negative relationships are found in our analysis, the effects are so small that the findings offer little policy significance.

More important, minority respondents in states that required photo identification are just as likely to report voting as are minority respon¬dents from states that only required voters to say their name.”
For a thorough statistical analysis of the effect of voter identification requirements:
New Analysis Shows Voter Identification Laws Do Not Reduce Turnout

Reality check:

The bill supposedly prevents voter fraud. However, one of the interesting things about it is that the U.S. Department of Justice did a study and went into Milwaukee and looked at all of the possible voter ID fraud [cases]. They only found 20 cases out of millions of ballots, and 11 of those were actually from felons who thought they [had the right to] vote.

I don’t believe that this bill has proven it will stop any fraudulent ballots. I think we would need a change if there were proof that our current system were broken, but it isn’t. In fact, Wisconsin had among the highest voter turnout in 2006 and 2008.

Wisconsin previously had some of the most progressive voter laws. Before, you could show up on the day of the election with a [utility] bill, with proof you’ve lived in the state at least ten days, and then go vote. So the tradition of Wisconsin is the exact opposite of this bill.

We hope once the budget goes through… money [will be] allocated so that the state will actually pay for the IDs. We’re going to take folks to the DMV [to] get them IDs. We are already seeing unprecedented lines at the DMV.

We would also support a legal case. We will help find plaintiffs who have a good case that they were being disenfranchised under the U.S. Voting Rights Act. But we’re going to focus [first] on getting people IDs

‪MASSIVE VOTER FRAUD IN PHILLY 78,000 ACORN REGISTRATIONS‬‏ - YouTube

You're ignoring the FACT that these were people hired to get paid for registrations. They were caught turning in phony registrations by ACORN officials. NONE of those phony registrations were cast as REAL votes. If you have any evidence to prove such, then please do so.

Bottom line: ACORN should have been shut down due to that embezzlement incident by one of it's own administrators, in which it was NOT reported to the proper authorities, but "handled" internally by the brother of the culprit...who put the money back and took a lower station in the organization.

Instead, ACORN gets canned by a bunch of panicky politicos eager to get ahead of the neocon propaganda machine. So the right thing happened for the wrong reasons.

And again for the intellectually bankrupt, the NAACP official acted alone, was NOT part of some conspiracy by the entire NAACP organization, was bagged and tagged. End of story, justice is done.

As usual for the Left, it depends on what the meaning of "is" is...

While I won't accuse you of being an unmitigated liar...the usual charge by the Left of those being in error, I will say that in the face of the following, a thinkig person would certainly change the import of your post....


"Although the organization prides itself for its registration efforts, it also has a long history of scandal. In the state of Missouri in 1986, 12 ACORN members were convicted of voter fraud. But that case was not an isolated incident in the state. In December 2004, in St. Louis, six volunteers pleaded guilty of dozens of election law violations for filling out registration cards with names of dead people and other bogus information. Authorities launched an earlier investigation after noticing that among the new voters was longtime St. Louis alderman Albert “Red” Villa, who died in 1990. The volunteers worked for “Operation Big Vote” — a branch of ACORN — in St. Louis.

On February 10, 2005, Nonaresa Montgomery, a paid worker who ran Operation Big Vote during the run-up to the 2001 mayoral primary, was found guilty of vote fraud. Montgomery hired about 30 workers to do fraudulent voter-registration canvassing. Instead of knocking on doors, the volunteers sat at a St. Louis fast food restaurant and wrote out names and information from an outdated voter list. About 1,500 fraudulent voter registration cards were turned in.

In October 2006, St. Louis election officials discovered at least 1,492 “potentially fraudulent” voter registration cards. They were all turned in by ACORN volunteers.
In November 2006, 20,000 to 35,000 questionable voter registration forms were turned in by ACORN officials in Missouri. Most all of these were from St. Louis and Kansas City areas, where ACORN purportedly sought to help empower the “disenfranchised” minorities living there. But the ACORN workers weren’t just told to register new voters. The workers admitted on camera that they were coached to tell registrants to vote for Democrat Claire McCaskill.

In 2007, in Kansas City, Missouri, four ACORN employees were indicted for fraud. In April of this year eight ACORN employees in St. Louis city and county pleaded guilty to federal election fraud for submitting bogus voter registrations.
And, that was just Missouri.

North Carolina — State Board of Elections officials have found at least 100 voter registration forms with the same names over and over again. The forms were turned in by ACORN. Officials sent about 30 applications to the state Board of Elections for possible fraud investigation.

Ohio — The New York Post reported that a Cleveland man said he was given cash and cigarettes by aggressive ACORN activists in exchange for registering an astonishing 72 times. The complaints have sparked an investigation by election officials into the organization, whose political wing has supported Barack Obama. Witnesses have already been subpoenaed to testify against the organization.

Nevada — Authorities raided the headquarters of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now on Tuesday October 7, 2008, after a month-long investigation. The fraudulent voter registrations included the Dallas Cowboys starting line-up.

Indiana — More than 2,000 voter registration forms filed in northern Indiana’s Lake County filled out by ACORN employees turned out to be bogus. Officials also stopped processing a stack of about 5,000 applications delivered just before the October 6 registration deadline after the first 2,100 turned out to be phony.

Connecticut — Officials are looking into a complaint alleging ACORN submitted fraudulent voter registration cards in Bridgeport. In one instance, an official said a card was filled out for a 7-year-old girl, whose age was listed as 27. 8,000 cards were submitted in Bridgeport.

Missouri — The Kansas City election board is reporting 100 duplicate applications and 280 with fake information. Acorn officials agreed that at least 4% of their registrations were bogus. Governor Matt Blunt condemned the attempts by ACORN to commit voter fraud.

Pennsylvania — Officials are investigating suspicious or incomplete registration forms submitted by ACORN. 252,595 voter registrations were submitted in Philadelphia. Remarkably, 57,435 were rejected — most of them submitted by ACORN.

Wisconsin — In Milwaukee ACORN improperly used felons as registration workers. Additionally, its workers are among 49 cases of bad registrations sent to authorities for possible charges, as first reported by the Journal Sentinel.

Florida — The Pinellas County Elections supervisor says his office has received around 35 voter registrations that appear to be bogus. There is also a question of 30,000 felons who are registered illegally to vote. Their connections with ACORN are not yet clear.

Texas — Of the 30,000 registration cards ACORN turned in, Harris County tax assessor Paul Bettencourt says just more than 20,000 are valid. And just look at some of the places ACORN was finding those voters. A church just next door is the address for around 150 people. More than 250 people claim a homeless outreach center as their home address. Some listed a county mental health facility as their home and one person even wrote down the Harris County jail at the sheriff’s office.

Michigan — ACORN in Detroit is being investigated after several municipal clerks reported fraudulent and duplicate voter registration applications coming through. The clerk interviewed said the fraud appears to be widespread.

New Mexico – The Bernalillo County clerk has notified prosecutors that some 1,100 fraudulent voter registration cards were turned in by ACORN.

That’s not all. So far this year at least 14 states have started investigations against ACORN. Talk about a culture of corruption. It is so bad that Representatives of Congress have asked for the Justice Department to investigate, and GOP presidential candidate John McCain is bringing it up in his stump speeches. The Obama camp is stealthily altering its “Fight the Smears” website to distance themselves from the organization — quite a challenge considering how close their candidate’s association has been with the group.

The liberal vs. conservative, voter fraud vs. voter intimidation debate will no doubt continue after this election. But this year, with the assistance of scandal-plagued ACORN, it appears that — so far — the voter fraud side is winning.

As usual, you went right to some right wingnut blogger, who gives ONLY ONE PART OF THE STORY. What your source left out was the following:

NONE OF THE FRAUDULENT REGISTRATIONS RESULT IN ACTUAL FRAUDULENT VOTES.
THE VAST MAJORITY OF THOSE FRAUDULENT REGISTRATIONS AND THE PEOPLE INVOLVED WERE TURNED IN BY ACORN OFFICIALS THEMSELVES.

They also leave out the FACT that the General Accounting Office cleared ACORN of election fraud.


It's really pathetic that bitter neocon parrots are STILL squawking long disproved talking points.

Next time, do a more thorough job of research.

In other words...

Just because there has been voter fraud in THIS case and Philly and Vegas LA and several other places doesnt mean there is anything to actually be concerned about...

Fact of the matter is voter fraud allegations have been greatly exaggerated and has a specific poltical purpose. To skew elections for the Republicans. Voter ID laws have been noted in causing hundreds of thousands of incidents where the elderly, minority and poor have been wrongfully turned away at the polls.

In fact a former major Texas Republican bigwig has said as much and is one of the most strident opponents of voter ID laws in his area

"Royal Masset, the former political director for the Republican Party of Texas, concisely tied all of these strands together in a 2007 Houston Chronicle article concerning a highly controversial battle over photo identification legislation in Texas. Masset connected the inflated furor over voter fraud to photo identification laws and their expected impact on legitimate voters:

Among Republicans it is an “article of religious faith that voter fraud is causing us to lose elections,”
Masset said. He doesn’t agree with that, but does believe that requiring photo IDs could cause
enough of a dropoff in legitimate Democratic voting to add 3 percent to the Republican vote.


I was a big fan of voter ID until the federal government declared my mother Aimee dead. The reason I’ve not been heavily involved in the political arena for the last three years is because I’ve been taking care of my 91-year-old mother who is a complete invalid but is very much alive.

I found there was no way of proving her alive. Invalid 91 year olds do not have driver’s licenses, passports, employment badges, gun permits & etc. Since I’m taking care of her in my home she has no bills with her name and address. I can’t even get her a birth certificate since she lacks the ID necessary for a notary to verify. Under HB 218 my mother, who is a registered voter in Austin, cannot vote in Texas. Anyone who says all legal voters under this bill can vote doesn’t know what he is talking about. And anyone who says that a lack of IDs won’t discriminate against otherwise legal minority voters is lying.
