More specifically, Obama paid $800,000 to an ACORN organization to register people to vote in Ohio earlier this year. That work, and other voter registration work performed by ACORN, has apparently resulted in illegal voter registration forms bring submitted in a number of States this year.

Ohio has been stung by illegal voter registrations that have resulted in a federal judge issuing a Temporary Restraining Order against Secretary of State Brunner, who is a Democrat, forcing her to follow the law with regard to allowing local elections boards in the State to examine those voter registration cards. ACORN officials regularly advise Secretary Brunner on matters of voting strategy.

Before the judge’s order, she was breaking the law to keep the illegal registration from being examined by those local officials.

IIRC, the website that discovered the false FEC reports by Team Obama published the information, and shortly after that, Obama decided to amend their FEC report.

I’ve been looking for that website this morning to confirm that, but so far I’m coming up empty.

Anybody remember that, or am I misremembering?

This is sick. I shake my head with amazement as I read all the lying excuses Barack supporters invent.

They will say anything....anything....to tamp down the public’s sense of outrage at the ANTI-voter things they have done.

They’ve learned well from Saul Alinsky and his disciple, Barack Obama.

$800,000 is a clerical error.

I doubt they have an $800,000 "error" that works against them... Maybe it's the same group that tells thim they "cleaned" the plane...

An organized program designed to either win or compromise an election is an aggressive attack upon the very foundation of a representative republic.

It should be lawful to treated such with the same application of lethal force on everyone involved as any other enemy action.

Or at least carry the harshest possible sentence allowed at the federal level. From the roots up to the top branches of that poison tree of anti-liberty.

Agree. But where were the Stewards protecting the Homeland?
This “community organizing” and “re-education or lack thereof” has been going on a long time.

Washington has kept their eyes wide shut yet you can’t convince me they didn’t see this coming.

Please add my name to your Morning ping list. ... I used to say ‘I’ll be glad when this election is over.’ But with the two candidates we have, one of whom will be the next president, what comes starting in January of 2009 is more work, more protesting, more griping, and more strenuous oversight to keep the elected representatives aware of what we the people demand these criminal bastards fix, immediately! I pray to God that we have at least McCain and Palin to bitch to because I’m absolutely certain the Obama bus does not stop for conservatives, ever, at all.

Looks like Obama is using a more civilized approach then his cousin Odingy
to steal the election.

All these stories won’t matter in the long run.
They are screwing the voting system and will steal the election.

Headline: Voter Registration Boom Favors Obama
Millions of new voters are overwhelmingly Democratic, which could be “really troubling” for Republicans....

Dead voters in Houston

CLEVELAND - A man at the center of a voter-registration scandal told The Post yesterday he was given cash and cigarettes by aggressive ACORN activists in exchange for registering an astonishing 72 times, in apparent violation of Ohio laws.

On and on and on.
