Massive Vote Fraud in New York Linked to ACORN
Big Government ^ | 9/29/09 | Mike Roman

The Working Families Party and local Democratic Party Officials are at the center of a massive voter fraud scandal in Troy, NY.

Dozens of forged and fraudulent absentee ballots from people registered to vote on the Working Families Party line were filed in the Sept. 15 primary elections in Troy.

Documents at the county Board of Elections show the fraudulent ballots were handled by or prepared on behalf of various elected officials and leaders and operatives for the Democratic and Working Families parties.

There may be as many as 50 absentee ballots that were forged, according to people close to the case. Countywide, there were 126 absentee ballots applied for on the Working Families Party line.

What isn’t mentioned is that WFP is nothing more than a front group for ACORN. Or as Roger Stone put it:

The Working Families Party is not about working people or families and it isn’t really a party. The WFP is a wholly owned subsidiary of ACORN. Bertha Lewis co-chair of the Working Families Party is the Executive Director of New York ACORN. New York ACORN leader, Steven Kest was the moving force in forming the party and WFP headquarters are located at the same address as ACORN’s national and New York office at 88 Third Avenue in Brooklyn, New York.

WFP is essentially a money funnel which pays for an aggressive door to door canvas. Largely funded by unions, the WFP is ACORN’s “political arm” in New York State. Candidates supported by the Working Families Party and issues supported by ACORN are both advocated on the door steps of target voter homes as they share one major voter canvas.

Adding more evidence to the ACORN-WFP link is Erick Erickson’s examination of Bertha

ACORN hasn’t been around that long. Who was doing it before they came along?

OK, let’s start a countdown and see how long it takes for the New York Times to report this one.

Rumor has it that there is irrefutable evidence/proof that ACORN threw the Minnesota election for Al Franken.

A bunch of separate political "machines" did it in many cities. ACORN simply *organized* them.

I can’t keep track of all the ACORNonsense going on anymore. Is there a master list somewhere?

You realize that you put “rumor” and “irrefutable” in the same sentence, right? I’m not sayin’ - I’m just sayin’.

It would be kind of difficult to prove on a level that would invalidate the election.

Not surprising, considering that Franken won by less than 400 votes in a state in which ACORN was heavily active...can you tell us more?

Heads up.

I will add you to the list if you request it by FReepmail.

It is a medium to high volume list.

He’s beholden to them for his success. He’d have to think real hard before throwing them under the bus too.
