ACORN Nuttiness Goes Massively Criminal

35,000 questionable registration forms (HT Gateway Pundit va e-mailer Larwyn for original story; the link in this post is to a more detailed KC Channel story):

Four people have been indicted on charges of voter fraud in Kansas City, officials said Wednesday.

Investigators said questionable registration forms for new voters were collected by the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, a group that works to improve minority and low-income communities.

The four indicted — Kwaim A. Stenson, Dale D. Franklin, Stephanie L. Davis and Brian Gardner — were employed by ACORN as registration recruiters. They were each charged with two counts.

Federal indictments allege the four turned in false voter registration applications. Prosecutors said the indictments are part of a national investigation.

….. “There is some motive behind it — this is not accidental,” said Ray James with the Kansas City Election Board.

….. ACORN officials said the four indicted have been fired.

Harris said ACORN workers check every voter registration card before sending it to the Election Board.

Last month, ACORN claimed to have processed more than 35,000 voter registration applications in Kansas City since the summer.

Add this to the evidence pile against “early voting.” If the only people allowed to vote before Election Day were true absentees (people out of town, the military, and those truly unable to get to the polls), and if a genuine ID requirement were in place, bogusly registered people would have to present fake IDs to vote in person — possible, but not on a massive scale, with each person trying it taking a considerable personal risk. The ability to play games with early voting would be very limited, and the incentive to try registration fraud on the scale attempted here would be greatly reduced.
