The Man From A.C.O.R.N.
Posted on 10/10/2008 2:08:36 PM PDT by Behind Liberal Lines
A retired Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice says that she is "not confident we can get a fair election" in the state come November.
Justice Sandra Newman, accompanied by Dauphin County District Attorney Edward Marsico and Pennsylvania Republican State Chairman Robert Gleason, expressed her concerns at a Harrisburg press conference this morning. A thick document replete with photo copies of phony registrations and aerial shots of vacant lots used as "addresses" for "voters" was handed out to journalists.
Gleason was even more explicit.
"Between March 23rd and October 1st, various groups, including ACORN, submitted over 252,595 registrations to the Philadelphia County Election Board" with 57, 435 rejected for faulty information. "Most of these registrations were submitted by ACORN, and rejected due to fake social security numbers, incorrect dates of birth, clearly fraudulent signatures, addresses that do not exist, and duplicate registrations. In one case, a man was registered to vote more than 15 times since the Primary election."
"Voter fraud is no longer just a Philadelphia problem," Gleason said, with ACORN targeting key counties across the state.

Good God, Shutdown ACORN, Now!
So, Mr. District Attorney, may we assume that you've already empaneled a Grand Jury?
L
We need to call for a postponement of this election.
We need to call for it right now.
The election should be postponed until we can get a handle on this extraordinary attempt to defraud the electorate.
bttt
I’m glad to see that Ed Marsico is on top of this in PA. He’s a good man and will route these ACORN criminals.
So will any of these fraudulent votes and registrations be able to be thrown out by election day??? If not, will the GOP have a HUGE number of lawyers on the ground in these states to dispute this?????
ACORN defends themselves by saying they just cannot control the actions of their workers.
So, by their own admission, they are not qualified to operate these voter registration jobs. They should be shut down for incompetence alone. Then there’s the fraud.
tHEN GO AFTER THE WORKERS.
Note, Sandra Newman is not a conservative by any stretch...Very interesting.
Well, now we know what a community organizer does!!!!!!
Nothing is being done to stop the fraud!
It’s like Fannie-Freddie all over again.
Not many. The fraud is rampant. Why go ahead with an election that is protested from the start?
We need a march on Washington, ASAP.
And just who do you think is going to do that?
Our President? Yeah right.
Any member from the republican party? too funny
Not going to happen
“Between March 23rd and October 1st, various groups, including ACORN, submitted over 252,595 registrations to the Philadelphia County Election Board” with 57, 435 rejected for faulty information. “Most of these registrations were submitted by ACORN, and rejected due to fake social security numbers, incorrect dates of birth, clearly fraudulent signatures, addresses that do not exist, and duplicate registrations.

Pennsylvania elections are a contest of dead people and pets voting in Philly vs. the western part of the state.

UPDATE: VOTES ‘FOUND ON MACHINES’ IN PHILLY BEFORE POLLS OPEN
Before voting even began in Philadelphia — Republican poll watchers believed they found nearly 2000 votes already planted on machines scattered in heavy-minority locations throughout the city.
Republican poll watchers claim:
One incident occurred at the SALVATION ARMY, 2601 N. 11th St., Philadelphia, Pa: Ward 37, division 8.
Pollwatchers uncovered 4 machines with planted votes; one with over 200 and one with nearly 500...
A second location, 1901 W. Girard Ave., Berean Institute, Philadelphia, Pa, had 300+ votes already on 2 machines at start of day.
ANOTHER INCIDENT: 292 votes on machine at start of day; WARD/DIVISION: 7/7: ADDRESS: 122 W. Erie Ave., Roberto Clemente School, Philadelphia, Pa..
ANOTHER: 456 votes on machine at start of day; WARD/DIVISION: 12/3; ADDRESS: 5657 Chew Ave., storefront, Philadelphia, Pa...
We are probably six months late in going after ACORN.
The nut has not fallen too far from the tree, and it has had time to germinate and grow.
John Ashcroft should have stopped this fraud in 2001 instead of covering up tits on statues.
In the primary, my down the street neighbor and friend for years, made me produce a picture Id to get my ballot
Congress sets the date for choosing electoral college members (what we’re actually voting for on Nov. 4). Article 2, section 1 of the Constitution. The communists won’t let the date be changed to their disadvantage.
You know, I watched video of people over in Britain who are protesting takeover of banks.
We all sit around and let these people pull this crap and do nothing.
I am really tired of it.
DC needs a giant hose taken to it. Time to start over and throw these people in prison.
No. The state legislature needs to step in.
No. The state legislature needs to step in.
My wife says the “spark” will be when none of us has a job so we won’t have anything to lose. She’s probably right. Going gun shopping in a bit.
.....Nothing is being done to stop the fraud!.....
If you read the article, it isobvious that i not true.
The fraud has been exposed for action to deal with it
..
Coincidence?
Not going to be able to stop it. We need to tell the gubmint, no election unless it is postponed and the fraud purged.
Why do we sit back and allow our vote to mean nothing?
I heard John Fund on the radio a couple of weeks ago. He said that there are just more democrat lawyers out there and that the republicans will always be outnumbered overseeing these elections.
Sad, isn’t it. We let congress pass this bail out crap. We let the election get stolen when it should be congress stopping it. It’s obvious all those crooks in congress are buddies and all in it together. They’ll pass anything to keep the government going. That’s where their retirement comes from so they don’t want to rock the boat.
Here’s a great few paragraphs on ACORN and their voter fraud strategy:
“
In 1982, partisans of the Cloward-Piven strategy founded a new “voting rights movement,” which purported to take up the unfinished work of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Like ACORN, the organization that spear-headed this campaign, the new “voting rights” movement was led by veterans of George Wiley’s welfare rights crusade. Its flagship organizations were Project Vote and Human SERVE, both founded in 1982. Project Vote is an ACORN front group, launched by former NWRO organizer and ACORN co-founder Zach Polett. Human SERVE was founded by Richard A. Cloward and Frances Fox Piven, along with a former NWRO organizer named Hulbert James.
All three of these organizations — ACORN, Project Vote and Human SERVE — set to work lobbying energetically for the so-called Motor-Voter law, which Bill Clinton ultimately signed in 1993. The Motor-Voter bill is largely responsible for swamping the voter rolls with “dead wood” — invalid registrations signed in the name of deceased, ineligible or non-existent people — thus opening the door to the unprecedented levels of voter fraud and “voter disenfranchisement” claims that followed in subsequent elections.
The new “voting rights” coalition combines mass voter registration drives — typically featuring high levels of fraud — with systematic intimidation of election officials in the form of frivolous lawsuits, unfounded charges of “racism” and “disenfranchisement,” and “direct action” (street protests, violent or otherwise). Just as they swamped America’s welfare offices in the 1960s, Cloward-Piven devotees now seek to overwhelm the nation’s understaffed and poorly policed electoral system. Their tactics set the stage for the Florida recount crisis of 2000, and have introduced a level of fear, tension and foreboding to U.S. elections heretofore encountered mainly in Third World countries.”

Nice, but government is failing to do its job. How long are you willing to wait? Until it matters no more?
The state legislature has the right to appoint the electors. Wanta’ see a revolution? Let ‘em do their duty and “overturn” an election. Talk about riots! That’s why it will never happen. Too many cowardly politicians at the feeding trough.
Maybe it’s time to shut down offsite registration by third parties. Maybe it’s time to reinstate registration in person solely at the office of elections.
Maybe we're on an inevitable collision course with conflict(?)
WOW...just no end of these teasonous acts..
Too late for this time, but before the next election ALL registered voters need to be purged and we start all over. Instead of letting 3rd parties register people, make the prospective voter haul their own @ss down to a location and provide the right documentation to get themselves registered. This has all become a friggin joke and we look worse than most 3rd World countries.
fyi

OH yeah? The communists are defying the Constitution. But I know where you come from.
Not a reason to turn the other cheek. The Constitution is in great danger.
Heh.
I was thinking that McCain has nothing to lose. GET AFTER THESE BASTARDS! At least if you don’t win you’ll die with your boots on.
In Pennsylvania, does the Secretary of State certify elections?
Thank you.
