PITTSBURGH -- Allegheny County police are sifting through voter registration forms in an effort affiliated with a national investigation that has turned up thousands of allegedly fraudulent voter registration forms.
Regulators are paying close scrutiny to registrations submitted by the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN, a group dedicated to assisting the less fortunate across the country.
“There appears to be a crime,” said Steve Zappala, Allegheny County District Attorney. “Clearly there are people on these applications who have not been solicited or may not exist. They’re forgeries.”
On Wednesday, authorities in Las Vegas raided an ACORN office and confiscated recent voter registration documents.
Distancing itself from the controversy, ACORN said at that time it has zero tolerance for fraudulent registration and will immediately fire anyone engaged in such activity.
Looks like the word is out!
We may not lose the Republic this time after all.
It is gonna be a long, hard fight to clean things up.
Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked have been sacked.
Anybody see the møøse?
I like the fact that the police are finally involved in investigating the ACORN-related corruption and they’re actually stating that there appears to have been a CRIME committed: forgery....no, yuh think?!!
Appears that the Republicans grew a set right around the time that Sarah showed up. A real woman brings out a real man.
I guess we needed some voters from the AFC.
“ACORN said at that time it has zero tolerance for fraudulent registration and will immediately fire anyone engaged in such activity”
ACORN is going to fire itself. LOL
get those Obama thugs NOW
I think that the ACORN people are registering the illegals in my county. What can be done to stop that?
I want to see them deported once they are tarred and feathered.
I am so sick of these d@mn criminal democrats.
They are the spawn of Satan.
Sarah Palin was very very easy on the “community organizers” in her convention speech.
“We may not lose the Republic this time after all”
Sorry, the fix is in. There is not enough time before the election to sort this all out—and any investigation will be ki8lled if godbama makes it in. The ruling will be to accept ALL voters without proper ID lest one real voter is turned away. That’s pretty much what Georgia got hit with this week in spite of it’s new voter ID requirements.
bttt
I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!
I'm sure ACORN has an explanation for the authorities as to what measures they're going to take to detect and put a stop to fraudulent registrations...

... any minute now...
Isn't that akin to trying to get away from your own STINKING FEET?
When YOU are guilty, you don't get to distance yourself from the controversy, you have to clean it up.
I saw that (”distancing”) also and rolled my eyes. Maybe it’s like O.J. distancing himself from the double homicide by looking for the “real killers”.
The more we learn, the more we see that Hitler’s tactics are not only being emulated, but trumped!
Right now, there is a university professor on Faux News defending ACORN. I had to turn it off, it’s truly sickening.
