More ACORN fraud

There are a lot of people suggesting that it shouldn't matter whether or not Barack Obama had connections with ACORN.
This is why:
Barkley estimated he'd registered to vote "10 to 15" times after canvassers for ACORN, whose political wing has endorsed Barack Obama, relentlessly pursued him and others.

ACORN has a criminal past of violating vote registration laws. Beyond that, they are one of the most brown-shirted activist groups I've ever run into. At protests, they have a nasty habit of tearing the signs of counter-protestors and threatening violence on people who have tried to videotape them, or question some of the protestors on tape.
So when I read that officials in Vegas had raided their headquarters to find fraud, I couldn't have been more pleased. From the Review Journal:

The secretary of state's office launched an investigation after noticing that names did not match addresses and that most members of the Dallas Cowboys appeared to be registering in Nevada to vote in November's general election.

"Some of these (forms) were facially fraudulent; we basically had the starting lineup for the Dallas Cowboys," Secretary of State Ross Miller said. "Tony Romo is not registered to vote in Nevada. Anyone trying to pose as Terrell Owens won't be able to cast a ballot."

Agents with the secretary of state and state attorney general offices served a search warrant on the headquarters of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN, at 953 E. Sahara Ave. shortly after 9 a.m. They seized voter registration forms and computer databases to determine how many fake forms were submitted and identify employees who were responsible.

Good for them. And good for the Review Journal for reporting this.
