The FBI and state authorities were making arrests Wednesday. The workers being sought were hired to register voters by the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN.
Prosecutors say they were first notified by ACORN about problems with workers in June 2008.
Republicans and conservative activists have accused ACORN of fraud in voter registration drives around the country. ACORN officials say the Florida case proves the organization is committed to an honest process.
The case involved nearly 900 fraudulent voter cards in the Homestead area.
Prosecutors notified in June of 2008? But nobody bothered to point that out publicly until now? Go figure.
Of course, for those Fox “News” viewers who don’t already know, virtually every one of the handful of ACORN workers (out of some 13,000 employees) who were arrested for defrauding the organization, were turned in to officials by ACORN themselves. Here’s some help for disinformed Glenn Beck fans. Yes, ACORN is the one that flags voter registrations themselves as fraudulent before turning them into officials, as they are required to do by law.
Contrast this case (and all the other ACORN-smear cases) with the one, among many, that Fox “News” (and the others) forgot to report and/or become outraged about: The arrest, and subsequent guilty plea of the head of the California GOP’s own voter registration firm, Mark Anthony Jacoby of Young Political Majors (YPM), for voter registration fraud.
Yes, I had to personally break that news on Fox.
Oh, yeah, and for good measure, there’s well-documented felony vote fraudster Ann Coulter who is even paid by Fox “News” to appear on their network regularly, even to this day.
great king obama has (his not so secret police out in force) better make sure those aint paid up members of ACORN
it’s so amusing to see conservatives go off on Obama after 8 years of the Imperial Crown Prince of No Clothes. What kind of warped reality are they living in. And seriously “Russ” this is SO the wrong forum to be presenting that kind of tripe. Nobody here is giving Obama a pass on ANYTHING, least of all anything that has to do with voter fraud. Now, start paying attention to ELECTION fraud, cuz you ain’t seen nuthin’ yet.
Smartly writ, SR. Thank you. Not in the mood to do any teabag smashing myself tonight. Too tired.
…not to mention Nathan Sproul and Lincoln Strategy Group…
…or Voters Outreach of America…
…or whatever they call Choicepoint now…
…and many more…

There is also video of ACORN workers trying to help secure housing for somebody posing as a teen prostitute. That will soon make the rounds.
…well-documented vote fraudster Ann Coulter…”
In your dreams. They never even filed charges. Apparently some bloggers need to be reminded once again that they are not judge, jury, or executioner.
Maybe the law should have said this case is forever now going to be referred as
“Turned In By Acorn” and then whatever name and description.
How long till someone mixes the old acorn lie with the current acorn? You know those fast talking guy’s that toss that kind of crap in. It makes name or affiliation with acorn(wrongly) discredited from all this corporate confusion and noise, using time, public police, and public spectrum as a weapon. It’s like ruining someone, and never setting the record straight, instead calling it journalist behind layers of crap, laughing, while the guy wriggles in pain, or loses his career.
Why do we still have all these corporate commercials with these money scams on our tv’s, when they lead to credit problems and bankruptcy like we been having, “too big to fail?”
How much percent does Check into Cash take?
I am tired of questions about acorn, how about questions of the electronic vote tabulation device and chain of custody.
Brad,
Google search “FACTCHECK ACORN” and see the third link which appears as “Factcheck.org: The Truth About McCain’s ACORN Accusations…”.
NO lie. Or is it? Is someone at Newsweek pulling a Karl Rove?
“Brodsky returns with a complaint about reporting on possible voter fraud in New Jersey. There are 2,300 applications with [mismatched signatures], but rather than explaining why this isn’t news, Brodsky’s only argument is: what about Ann Coulter!”

‘Meanwhile, “fair and balanced” Fox continues to [ignore] the formal voter-fraud investigations that have been launched against regular guest Ann Coulter.’

“Yes, the tu quoque fallacy raised to a new level! Note Brodsky’s “proof” that Fox “ignored” the Coulter charges: a search of foxnation.com. That’s really clever, Ellen. Not. Fox Nation wasn’t even in existence when the Coulter charges made news! Are you going to attack USA Today for not having filed a report on the Hindenburg disaster? This ploy is as transparent as Saran Wrap, but what else could Brodsky do? After all, even a cursory search of foxnews.com would prove her charge that Fox “ignored” the Coulter charges to be [another hound lie]. By the way, Coulter doesn’t work for Fox News. Brad Blog (another hound recommended site) continues to lie that she does, but it was MSNBC that hired her.”
