ACORN worker pleads guilty in voter fraud case.
By paulseale

Recent Democratic talking points portrayed the 2006 efforts to curb voter fraud as a political move by Republicans to suppress certain blocks of "disadvantaged" voters. I've read publications who went as far as to say that the charges brought up against several ACORN works last year ended up being false and were dropped. As usual, the truth, is a far cry from what the repeated talking points where.

The Kansas City Star is reporting that one of the ACORN workers pled guilty yesterday for filing false paper work with the Kansas City election board.

Carmen R. Davis, 38, was charged in January with committing voter registration fraud and identity theft before the November elections.

One of the four workers is already serving probation for their plea agreement with a second waiting sentencing and the the third scheduled to go to trial in July.

This incident proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that something needs to be done to combat fraud. These were also the individuals who were caught. There is no telling how many thousands of fraudently cast ballots were allowed because of such neglence.

It also proves a point regarding the fishing expedition put on by Schumer or Leahy over the firings of the U.S. Attorneys. Next time they ramble on about Rove trying to push a political agenda and rig the outcome of an election, simply point to this story. It is a factual case which proves a point.

Most importantly, though, we do need some form of reformation to ensure something like this does not happen again. Voting is one of our most sacred rights and we should ensure that our elections are fair, truthful and free of incidents like this. If it does not then our entire process will be crippled, and with it, our great nation.
