In a conference call with reporters and bloggers, Doug Hoffman campaign spokesman Rob Ryan addressed his concern about the possibility of ACORN interfering in New York's 23rd district.

"A special prosecutor was named at the end of September, because Working Families Party was infvolved in the forgery of absentee ballots, and they caught them red-handed. This is something we are afraid of here in the district. We are afraid of the unions coming in, of ACORN coming in, of Move-on types coming in, and we want to see a clean legal election. We know if that's the case, we win. Our Chief counsel is going to court tomorrow morning in Essex county. The ballots that are being counted...the voting machines could not have them added, so there are paper ballots out there, and we do not want paper ballots being counted at the polling places. We want them counted with the absentee ballots at the board of elections."
Obama Vs. Hoffman (Tea Party/Conservatism/Republican Resurgence)
It loks like Doug is in the drivers seat, so I feel his campaign needs to chill with the finger pointing and scare talk. He can do more harm to himself during the next few hours than anyone else. Take a defensive position and put out the fires quietly.

Remind me what Bush Sr was accused of doing to a Perot wedding?
FReep mail me if you want on/off the list.
I have no idea what you are asking or the point you are trying to make. Sorry.
Show your drivers lic before voting
That's RACIST !! /s
There has to be a way to prevent the Acorn fraud.
Of COURSE they will be pulling their illegal vote tricks.
TURNOUT, TURNOUT, TURNOUT is the only way to defeat these tricks.
Also have poll watchers at EVERY PRECINCT....with video cameras and cell phones.
Am sure volunteers are needed!
Meanwhile, my absentee ballot never arrived (I’m active duty stationed away from my district). I’m sure my provisional ballot was disposed of because a vote was already cast in my name...
What is the Secreaty of State like?
Secretary of State—sorry.
I hope you check that out when you get back. Sorry to hear that. Can you call the elections office, record the call and inform them of that info? Might come in handy later on...
AM not in NY - don’t know..,.,maybe others do.

“my absentee ballot never arrived (I’m active duty stationed away from my district)”
Me too, in 2006 Alaska election.
The Secretary of State told me it was sent. Mail handlers probably lost it in South Carolina.
I don’t agree, devane617. The Acorn roaches scurry in the daylight. If he calls attention to their schemes now he diminishes the possibility that they will be able to get away with them in the 23rd.
Rolling up to the 1992 elections, I have vague memories of allegations where it was stated that Perot accused Bush Sr of interfering with his daughter’s wedding, and the air of paranoia began to surround Perot’s campaign.
To your point concerning Hoffman’s ACORN alarm, you’re right.
I think the actual complaint had to do with somebody spreading rumors about her...lesbian alert. Couldn’t imagine who could have been doing that and I’m ‘certain’ that there wasn’t any truth to the rumor.
I agree 100%. Call the bastards out before they get a toehold.
It’d be nice if some volunteers of the conservative persuasion would volunteer to police those precincts Tuesday. It’s be real nice if the pub party would help out and send some seasoned spotters as a mea culpa for visiting Skanakfava on us in the first place. I doubt they will. They’re too busy nursing their wounds and crying indignantly in their beer because they got bitch-slapped.
What utter tripe.
The best defense is a good offense.
I thought perot claimed a bunch of ninjas crashed his daughters wedding?
ACORN got their money again as of today.
So I wouldn’t be surprised that they will try to swing the voters — especially in New Jersey.
Dead voters
Dog voters
Mickey Mouse voters
You name it!
I didn’t keep up with it; perhaps they were lesbian Ninjas?
I think the ACORN’ers are a little behind on this one. They expected the seat to go to DEMOCRAT (Owens or Scozzafava), so they probably haven’t geared up for it.
In NEW JERSEY, THOUGH, it’s a completely different story, with Corzine already preparing legal defense of the ACORN frauds!!
A few people with video cameras at the polling stations would solve a lot. Get together afterward and see how many faces match.
I’m just saying....
I disagree. Do you think the Conservative Party has the resources to fight the fraud? The GOP hasn’t, that I know of, formally said that Hoffman is the Republican and probably couldn’t if they tried—they have an “R” on the ballot already.
He needs to yell this out and get as much attention as is possible, especially with the Democrats already filing a lawsuit against the election to force precincts to accept federal voting requirements over state and local requirements to vote.
The libs have thrown down the gauntlet already. This IS defense.
Before the sun sets on Tues, they’ll be claiming some melanin-rich individual was turned away from the polls. That will be the lead, every hour, until they can say “upset.” If they can’t, they’ll go to court to upset it that way.
This upcoming race will be a barometer of how much ACORN can influence elections since Hoffman should win handily.
A drivers license doesn’t prove legal citizenship.
My wife was illegal in Chicago when she was registered to vote while at the DMV getting her drivers license. I still have her 2004 Illinois voter registration card.
No offense to your wife, but EVERYTHING in Chicago is illegal.
And a question for those who think Hoffman should stand down on the ACRUD alert. Is Al Franken a US Senator?
Seems that way with Chicago.
My wife did not even know it was not legal for her to vote.
On a side note, this lifelong Cubs fan now finds it hard to watch a Cubs game after the Sammy Sosa era. Cheating (steroids) pervades even the Chicago sports teams.
You know, that is so sad. I find it very difficult to ever think of Chicago without the word ‘criminal’ attached to it, even when my better angels tell me that a lot of very fine people live there.
Sadly, that image pervades over a lot,(too many,) of our big cities. L A, Detroit, Philly, etc. Almost anywhere the dems have control of the machine.
Columbus, Ohio used to be one of the most livable cities in the country. Now...
Same with Pittsburgh.
I think we need to literally destroy the dem machine and all of its moving parts.
[[What is the Secreaty of State like?]]
Smelly
[[I didn’t keep up with it; perhaps they were lesbian Ninjas?]]
Which is code name for ‘code pink’
That makes no tactical or strategic sense. When your enemy is on the run, crush them. Drive their women and children before you, and relish in their lamentations.
'We've got them on the run, so stop'????? WTF?
CRUSH THEM, so they never darken our Republic again.

Conversatives need to start a non-profit to help the the country, a group who will feed, cloth, shelter and provide medical care for the poor, indigent, downtrodden in our country. Accept Federal, State, Local and private donations for funding. Set up offices where each and every person who places a foot on the soil of this great country can find the opportunity our Founding Fathers denied them.
SQUASH - coming to a neighborhood near you.
AMEN!
Mr. ACORN, Himself! The Personification of Fraud, Corruption and Evil Against AMERICA!
Quite a Telling Portrait!
Even after the hijinx are discovered and PROVEN, a liberal judge will just let it go.
Her name will be on the ballot, and some will vote for her. What ever happened to fair and free elections?
nobody likes a rat. this won’t help Owens nearly as much as they would like. It shows the claims about being a liberal were true.
This is a problem faced by many missionary families overseas, too.
We sent our requests for absentee ballots through our nearest U.S. Consulate. The consulate did its job. The requests DID arrive at our Indiana county court house.
My wife was in the States for a couple of months, and she went to the courthouse to check. The courthouse official responsible for this knows us. She said that she did mail them to us. We believe her, of course. But they never reached us.
At this point we figure the problem to have been either (1) that the postal systems abroad are not as reliable as the USPS; or (2) because we are in a communist country, the official looking envelope was pulled off line for inspection and then discarded.
There must be a more secure way to handle this, but we haven’t found that way yet.
We wonder if the U.S. embassies and consulates couldn’t set up direct polling for Americans abroad, and wire the results back to the respective states. This does seem like a very big task for them, however.
I don’t know the answer.
This is exactly what is *the MOST* wrong with our voting system. Of all the votes that musy be counted, those protecting our freedom and right to vote are being denied theirs. If we don’t make this unacceptable problem our #1 national priority in fixin the election system, then we will FAIL.
The NYT is going to be in for a BIG SUPRISE, as NY23 comes through and Hoffman gets in.
