Did ACORN Elect Al Franken? Remember Franken won his seat by a little more than 300 votes and ACORN might have helped Franken to get his "landslide" margin in one of two ways,in the actual counting of the votes, or the new voters registered by ACORN...
Minneapolis Secretary of State Mark Ritchie was the guy in charge of counting the votes. Richie a former Community Organizer, was elected two years ago with help from former self-described Nazi Collaborator George Soros and ACORN.
In 2006, the Minnesota ACORN Political Action Committee endorsed Ritchie and donated to his campaign. According to the Minnesota Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board, contributors to Ritchie's campaign included liberal philanthropists George Soros, Drummond Pike, and Deborah Rappaport, along with veteran community organizer Heather Booth, a Saul Alinsky disciple who co-founded the Midwest Academy, a radical ACORN clone. One article on Ritchie's 2006 campaign website brags about the fine work ACORN did in Florida to pass a constitutional amendment to raise that state's minimum wage.
It was revealed during a panel discussion at the Democratic Party's convention in Denver this summer that the Democracy Alliance, a financial clearinghouse created by Soros and insurance magnate Peter B. Lewis, approved the Secretary of State Project as a grantee. The Democracy Alliance aspires to create a permanent political infrastructure of nonprofits, think tanks, media outlets, leadership schools, and activist groups-a kind of "vast left-wing conspiracy" to compete with the conservative movement. It has brokered more than $100 million in grants to liberal nonprofits including ACORN. The aforementioned Pike and Rappaport, who gave money to Ritchie's campaign, are members of the Democracy Alliance.
In the Minnesota Star Tribune Katherine Kersten uses ACORN's track record of election fraud to suppose the effect on the election:

This may be a re-ping.
Acorn Ping.
We have known this, all along. The MN Secretary of State was installed in 2006 by ACORN and it was not a big shock when Coleman won......but then he didn’t.
Time to investigate this.
Leftism, the gift that keeps on taking.
So much for 2010, huh?
Maybe, just maybe, the MN electorate will come to realize the importance of the integrity of the Franchise and tighten the voting procedures. WTF, am I dreaming?
A documentary should be made of the details of Fraken’s ascent to victory. Most would be outraged.
How do they keep track of all these groups? soros needs a staff just to manage that... egad hes got tendrils everywhere.
Rachel Maddow on MSNBC has been running a feature every night defending Acorn and attacking the young film makers who exposed the crimes.
Even if it’s a re-ping, it’s a good one!
The people of Minnesota have become a complete laughingstock and will continue to be so until they do something to turn this around. If they don’t, they will deserve the mocking shouts of derision that come their way.
There is no other way he could have won that election.
