LAS VEGAS, Oct. 7 (UPI) -- Nevada authorities said Tuesday they raided the Las Vegas offices of the controversial voter-registration activist group, ACORN.

The Secretary of State's Office confirmed to the Las Vegas Review-Journal that a search warrant was served at the ACORN office as part of a probe into suspected voter registration fraud.

The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN, has been under withering attack from the Republican Party for allegedly signing up unqualified voters in order to boost Democratic presidential candidate Barrack Obama.

ACORN has stated that while it indeed targets low-income voters, it is required to turn in all of the registration cards it collects to state officials nationwide regardless of any problems with the information provided by the people they signed up.

The Review Journal reported that the Secretary of State's Office said ACORN employees were suspected of using false names or addresses in their registration efforts, including the names of some former members of the Dallas Cowboys.

Of course, that's assuming the Republican registrations don't accidentally fall into the shredder as they are passed over the top of the machine....oooppps....Oh well, it wasn't intentional?

Apply the RICO laws against these domestic terrorists.

Which of us denizens here on FR are surprised?

Well, maybe I’m a bit surprised that the government took action.

I’m NOT surprised that ACORN is involved in vote fraud.

[callthemlikeyouseethem]

there should have been a concerted effort to do it in all 57 (BHObama’s #, not mine!) states simultaneously...;)

Oh O.J. make room in your cell for a few members of ACORN.

...ACORN, has been under withering attack from the Republican Party for allegedly signing up unqualified voters...

[St. Louis Conservative]

One good thing about Obama’s candidacy is that is has finally caused light to shine down on ACORN’s corrupt, fraudulent election practices. Groups like these need to operate outside of the eye of the public.

Surprise!

[RedEyeJack]

ACORN workers apparently make up “stuff” faster than Joe Biden...

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

So... I guess the Obama people don’t see how they can win Nevada now, right?

...a search warrant was served at the ACORN office as part of a probe into suspected voter registration fraud.

I'm shocked I tell you, shocked!

Hopefully, McCain will mention this, and 0bama’s connection to ACORN, in the debate tonight.

[Bullish]

It’s quite funny that the party named “democrats” is the party that wholeheartedly believes in cheating democracy.

Ironic isn’t it?

It should be noted that the Nevada Secretary of State is Ross Miller, a Democrat, and son of former Governor Bob Miller.
