The liberals defending ACORN's fraudulent voter registration efforts have said again and again voter registration fraud doesn't lead to voter fraud.
Well, we didn't have to wait till Election Day to find out they're wrong.
The Associated Press reported Friday that the New Mexico GOP found 28 people who voted fraudulently in Albuquerque during the June Democratic primary by absentee ballot. One of the ballots was cast from someone named "Duran-Duran"
The GOP's review was conducted in House District 13 and only included 92 ballots. That means roughly a third of the ballots examined found by the GOP were fraudulent. The New Mexico GOP released 10 of their suspect ballots. They ballots did not contain required identification information such as Social Security numbers, drivers license numbers or birthdates.
“This is a bombshell. We now have undeniable proof that a significant number of fraudulent voters were cast in Democrat primary races for the New Mexico state legislature as a result of ACORN’s voter registration fraud,” said State Representative Justine Fox Young (R.-Albuquerque). “No longer can ACORN argue that their phony voter registration forms don’t translate into fraudulent votes. They do and today we can prove it.”
The Republicans plan to turn over their suspected ballots to election officials Friday.
Conservatives are calling on Congress to defund ACORN of their federal funding. With increasing evidence ACORN is involved in voter registration fraud and voter fraud, as shown in Albuquerque, it become more important ACORN be stripped of their federal assistance.
The ACORN office in Albuquerque has been a beneficiary of generous federal tax dollars. Information from House Minority Leader John Boehner's office shows that Albuquerque's ACORN branch has received $349,253 in federal tax dollars since 1998.
ACORN fraud will cost taxpayers countless more dollars, in Albuquerque and elsewhere, as local election officials are forced to spend hundreds of hours investigating the thousands of fraudulent voter applications ACORN has submitted across the nation.
The FBI launched a nationwide investigation against ACORN Wednesday.
Congress?
Nah, let’s just turn them loose in AK...wearing moose costumes.
The ACORN nuts should be hanging from trees.
(Election fraud should be a capital offense).
Now that the FBI is involved, hopefully the investigation is nation-wide.
I just can’t believe taxpayer money is being used to fund the Democrat voter fraud machine. It just boggles the mind.
Two words: Spineless Republicans
Her name was Rio, she danced across the Rio Grande.
I fear that the shock of ACORN is wearing off or is that just exposure to articles from FR? American people can’t pay attention for any length of time to one subject, this also will go by the wayside.
Very sad.
And once BO gets into office, the FBI will be ordered to stop all investigations
yep.
If this were happening in reverse (GOP the benefit of ACORN voter fraud), the bloodshed on the streets would lead to a civil war.
I’m thinking more and more it should.
I hope the Republicans will concentrate on taking the economic issue from the Democrats, and on ACORN as it relates to the economy. That might keep their attention on all of this voter fraud.
It is on radio newsbreaks across America with different states day after day now. It is having an impact and this will now impact even more as these people actually voted.
Dem fraud being highlighted and it was started by the Hillary people mad at Obama and ACORN for stealing the nomination from Hillary. Now they want to bury Obama and the ACORN. They are helping Republicans all over find the fraud.
They even followed up on some of it, empty offices, identical signatures, Jimmy Johns (a fast food joint), etc. It wasn't just that some in the one pile were bad. They ALL were bad.
