How Obama will win the Presidency: Voters Fraud! Yes Voters Fraud in Battleground States
Michigan - Bad voter applications found. Clerks see fraudulent, duplicate forms from group. Several municipal clerks across the state are reporting fraudulent and duplicate voter registration applications, most of them from a nationwide community activist group working to help low- and moderate-income families.
The majority of the problem applications are coming from the group ACORN, Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, which has a large voter registration program among its many social service programs. ACORN’s Michigan branch, based in Detroit, has enrolled 200,000 voters statewide in recent months, mostly with the use of paid, part-time employees.
“There appears to be a sizeable number of duplicate and fraudulent applications,” said Kelly Chesney, spokeswoman for the Michigan Secretary of State’s Office. “And it appears to be widespread.”
Chesney said her office has had discussions with ACORN officials after local clerks reported the questionable applications to the state. Chesney said some of the applications are duplicates and some appear to be names that have been made up. The Secretary of State’s Office has turned over several of the applications to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office on Friday declined to confirm whether an investigation was taking place.
In recent years, ACORN’s voter registration programs have come under investigation in Ohio, Colorado, Missouri and Washington, with some employees convicted of voter fraud.
ACORN officials said they were looking into the problem.
“We’ll do an investigation to see what’s happening,” said David Lagstein, a spokesman for the Detroit office. “If it’s really as many as that, it warrants further investigation.”
In Pontiac, where several thousand applications have been submitted by ACORN in the last few weeks for the November election, the clerk’s office is finding that numerous applications are sometimes filed under one name.
“What it causes is a slowdown of our operations,” said Pontiac City Clerk Yvette Talley. “They’re steadily coming in, and we are finding a huge number of duplications.”
Talley said she could not provide an exact number.
Clerks are required to check their records against a statewide database of all registered voters within their jurisdiction, so it would be unlikely that duplications would allow voters to cast their votes more than once, Talley said.
“We catch them all, but it’s taking up a lot of our time,” she said.
In Oak Park, clerk Sandra Gadd said they have been seeing “lots of duplication” from ACORN in recent months but were reassured by ACORN officials that the group was working to correct the problem.

It looks like in order to combat this problem more of us should become poll watchers. I volunteered to do so here in the Kansas City MO area and it’s simple to get credentials. I urge others to do the same.
It makes me sick to think we can have this fraud going on.
Where are all the politicians in that state. Why don’t they do something about it.
All acorn votes should be cast out. If there is just one person doing this we have lost our freedom!!!!!
What the hell are you smoking? Have you seen Palin do an interview? She is clueless. McBush is out of touch and you are a moron!
Where was all of your moral outrage in 2004? There were widespread reports of voter fraud and intimidation. Right now there are illegal voter roll purges going on in 19 states: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRfJtnfQDgg
