ACORN, the community organizing outfit with which Obama has a long and fruitful history, has put together a team of voter-registration workers drawn from the most reliable Democratic constituency: felons. Their Nevada operation alone include several felons. The result across the U.S. have been instructive: 21 separate voter-registration applications were filed for a single voter in Miami; in Indiana, signatures were forged on registration cards for names pulled out of the phone book. and in Indianapolis/Marion county's registration now stands at 105% of the voting-age population; in Nevada, registrations for the starting lineup of the Dallas Cowboys were filed from non-existent addresses, and there were no records of many of the people proffered as voters. In Albuquerque, at least 1,400 registration cards are in question. Missouri (53,000 new ACORN voters) and Ohio are finding forged signatures and registrations from non existent addresses. These are not isolated cases; they run into several thousands already,and the investigations have only begun.It is no coincidence that they are concentrated in hotly contested swing states. Some 3 million ACORN voters have been added to the rolls since 2004. In July 2007, five ACORN activists pleaded guilty to fraud for faking voter registrations in Washington State. They should do something about this problem now, not the day after the election.
