Four ACORN Members Charged With Felonies Nov 2 2006 2:08PM sayanythingblog.com This from a left-wing group that is, along with the Democrats, the nation’s foremost opponent to voter ID laws: Four people have been indicted on charges of voter fraud in Kansas City, officials said Wednesday. Investigators said questionable registration forms for new voters were collected by the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, a group that works to improve minority and low-income communities. The four indicted—Kwaim A. Stenson, Dale D. Franklin, Stephanie L. Davis and Brian Gardner—were employed by ACORN as registration recruiters. They were each charged with two counts. Federal indictments allege the four turned in false voter registration applications. Prosecutors said the indictments are part of a national investigation. ACORN and Project Vote recruit and assign workers to low-income and minority neighborhoods to register people to vote. The Kansas City Election Board told KMBC they found suspicious forms, such as seven applications from one person and an application for a dead man. “There is some motive behind it—this is not accidental,” said Ray James with the Kansas City Election Board. You betcha there’s a motive behind it. It’s called “let’s steal an election.” After all, according to ACORN bragging they’ve collected some 35,000 voter registrations in Kansas City alone: Last month, ACORN claimed to have processed more than 35,000 voter registration applications in Kansas City since the summer. And Kansas City is in a state where in one election, key for both national Republicans and Democrats, 35,000 is more than enough to swing the race. So, just to sum it all up for you, ACORN is working with Democrats to oppose voter ID laws across the nation even as ACORN is guilty of submitting fraudulent voter registration in states with hotly contested Congressional races. As I’ve said before, if this were a right-wing group that had opposed voter ID’s and then was found to have submitted fraudulent voter registrations in areas where key races were taking place the media would be all over this. It’d likely be the biggest final story right before the election. As it is, the media isn’t interested in covering this at all.
