But an analysis of the election results tells a different story. As far as the Iranian regime is concerned, the controversy over the presidential election result is over. The Guardian Council announced Monday that a recount of 10 percent of the vote offered no proof of voter fraud. The three defeated candidates had protested what they said was massive fraud; their claim was supported by hundreds of thousands of citizens who took to the streets in an unprecedented anti-government protest. All in vain, it turns out. Even after the partial...

According to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, a judge hearing a voter fraud case against an ACORN employee has suggested investigators pursue the conglomerate itself, obtaining a promise that it will be done.

Acorn, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, signed up in February with the bureau to be a "2010 Census Partner," which includes, among other things, identifying job candidates, encouraging its members to participate in the count and distributing literature explaining the importance of the census.

Vermont now has two left wing senators because of this mass migration from New York. If they are living in NYC as their primary address, it would not be difficult to imagine that many of them could have second homes in Vermont.
