Voter fraud update, Ohio and Penn [Greg Pollowitz 11/01 03:28 PM] AP: An advocacy group that registered more than a million voters two years ago is facing new allegations of voter fraud and sloppy work just weeks before crucial midterm elections on Nov. 7. Philadelphia's municipal voter registration office has rejected about 3,000 cards submitted by ACORN — the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now — since April because of missing information or invalid addresses. Denver County election officials forwarded about 200 cards to the secretary of state's office after finding similar handwriting on signatures. Ohio prosecutors are looking at almost 400 cards that the Franklin County elections board says included already registered voters or listed the wrong address. In Ohio, election officials in three of the state's largest counties have cited problems with hundreds of voter registration cards. ACORN is accused of submitting cards with nonexistent addresses, forged signatures and, in one case, for someone who died seven years ago. "In my opinion, there's a lot of words but little action in terms of fixing the problem," said Matt Damschroder, elections board director in Franklin County, Ohio. The Hamilton County board is concerned about errors and missing information on hundreds of ACORN cards, while problems with about a dozen cards were reported in Summit County.

Bushies stole the 2004 and 2000 elections and will probably be trying every trick in the book to steal this one two. The difference is, this is hundreds of smaller races and unlike Ohio and Florida, the Bushies don't control the voting system in statesa they don't control. Therefore, where they are most likely to focus their cheating will be in deeply red districts, perhaps Delay's old seat, where they can rig the ballots or voting machines. It is no accident that the GOP spent 3.4 billion of our money on voting machines and systems that leave no paper trail. Why would anyone do that? Only one reason, so they can game the system, then cheat and avoid re-counts. Also, the GOP cheating only works in close elections. They can't steal more than about 5%. So many they will use it in Tennessee. We know they have already gamed machines in Georgia and Ohio. But in Ohio GOP candidates are far behind.
