Dorchester attorney comes to ACORN’s defense

Project Vote Smart (click here) - Consider Donating !

...“It’s very frustrating to do all this great work and have 99 percent of our employees, sometimes in inclement weather, standing outside of bus stops and in front of stores to help register people in their community and have their work attacked because one percent steal from us,” said Brian W. Mellor, senior counsel for the Washington-based Project Vote.
The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN, which partnered with Project Vote in a national voter registration drive, is under fire for voter registration irregularities in Nevada, Indiana, Pennsylvania, New Mexico, Michigan, Wisconsin, North Carolina and Missouri....

Crowds of people. Unending stacks of registration forms. Phones ringing off the hook.

Welcome to your local board of elections, only weeks before one of the most hyped presidential elections in recent U.S. history.
If you don’t think Southeastern North Carolina is buzzing about the battle between Sens. Barack Obama and John McCain, take a look at the numbers. New Hanover, Brunswick and Pender counties have added about 21,000 voters to their rolls in the last year, according to state election data.
Election officials can’t recall any other race like it.
“It’s a phenomenon,” said Bonnie Williams, New Hanover County’s election director. “It’s just unbelievable what we’re experiencing.”...

There is no mention of 'independent' voters which is also recorded in these countries. But, who cares about Independents anyway !

This is an exceptionally good year to register voters. They have clear choices on issues. There are significant issues that touch everyone's lives. The reason there are so many unaffiliated voters in this region of the country is because of the social pressure that accompanies political issues.

Hollywood can say what they want about Conservatives being a minority, but, in Red States the acceptance of Democratic affiliations is not fostered, due to the incredible penetration of 'talk radio.' There is a lot of bias and forced embarassment in the social strata. Having a minority candidate for President has 'raised the heads' of minorities in the region and have brought them to the reality that there is a place of 'hope' they need to explore.

Voter Fraud in the GOP

...Leonard Seagren, owner of a cigar shop in Portsmouth, N.H., (click here) continued his store’s 24-year tradition by conducting a matchbook poll the week prior to the vote. Seagren boasts an 80% accuracy rate over the years. Last week’s results showed Paul winning with 31% over McCain with 27% and Obama beating Hillary again.
Could all the polls be so far off the mark? It’s doubtful, but any speculation is a long way from proving vote fraud. However, this next example leaves the New Hampshire officials with a lot of explaining to do.
There is a little town called Sutton, and 386 people voted there, but not one for Paul, at least not from the official count. However, as of noon the next day, 31 people, after angrily viewing the results in the morning newspaper, had come forward to say publicly that they had voted for Paul.
By mid-afternoon, the echoing uproar was heard nationwide via talk radio, with dozens of callers urging Paul to ask for an investigation of this and other suspect precincts. These would include but not be limited to:
Roxbury (33 votes cast, 2 for Paul), Landaff (91 cast, 3 for Paul), Greenville (144 cast, 0 for Paul), Waterville (71 cast, 1 for Paul) and Easton (52 cast, 3 for Paul)....




McCain campaign enticing voter fraud

The McCain recently called a relative of mine, who I'll call 'Sam,' to inform him that they would be sending an absentee ballot request. This is where the story gets interesting -- the absentee ballot request arrived and was for Florida rather Colorado, where Sam has lived since 2005.
What the McCain campaign is doing is comparing voter registration data bases in order to come up with previous registration addresses. The absentee request form is essentially an invitation to vote twice....

The McCain campagne showing its level of contempt for the democratic process is currently mailing out millions of absenty ballots to low income and minority area's in ohio , on these forms which are not in the format used by the state is a discret box asking if you are allowed to vote. if this hidden box is left blank by law the person is not allowed to vote. Talk about reform . THIS IS WHAT PASSES FOR A PATRIOT. THIS IS THE LOWEST FORM OF VOTER MANIPULATION, ANYONE THAT READS THIS DO YOUR PART AND MAKE SOME NOISE!!!!!!!!!!

GOP absentee ballot mailings called voter fraud (click here)
Democratic voters in at least two Wisconsin communities have received absentee voter forms from the McCain campaign that -- if used -- could cause their votes to be ignored.Is it a simple error? Or campaign shenanigans and voter fraud? You be the judge.Keith Heck, a former Racine Unified School Board member who lives in Mount Pleasant, reports receiving a mailing containing two tear-out requests for an absentee ballot. The preprinted request form -- an 11x17 piece of card stock folded over twice for mailing -- is addressed to the clerk in the the village of Caledonia....


Smear Campaign? Is that what the pundits of the GOP are calling it? How about DISTRACTION from the fact McCain's campaign is engaged in fraud and has been for sometime? This is more than a smear campaign, it's an all out effort from the moment Paris Hilton appeared to turn a legitimate election for President of the USA into a popularity contest. The McCain campaign can't run on the issues. Their party, policies and their politics ARE THE ISSUE !

William Ayers and voter fraud. Cindy McCain on the attack. Say it ain’t so, John.
The economy is in a tailspin, and so is John McCain. Our retirement plans and college savings accounts are shrinking, and McCain is shrinking right with them. He’s not just on the verge of getting clobbered in the election. He’s on the verge of becoming an object of utter ridicule. It isn’t pretty to watch. Even for a Democrat....
…They’re screaming bloody murder that Barack Obama left a phone message two years ago for a guy who engaged in radical activity when Barack Obama was 8 years old and living in Indonesia. Ayers, who is a neighbor of Obama’s, even had some kind of meet-and-greet for him 13 years ago, when Obama was running for state Senate, making him one of about a million people who’ve opened their homes and their checkbooks to the guy.
Imagine that. We’re in the midst of an international economic crisis and the McCain folks are trying to make hay out of what a guy who hosted a reception for Obama 13 years ago was doing 20 years before that….
