Arrest Warrants Issued for 11 Florida Registration Fraudsters TURNED IN BY ACORN
Brad Friedman on 9/9/2009 12:44PM AIN BY ACORN Officials asked by group to investigate over a year ago...as in so many similar cases purposely misreported by Republicanists... From AP via TPM... "Arrest warrants have been issued in Miami for 11 people suspected of falsifying information on hundreds of voter registration cards last year. "The FBI and state authorities were making arrests Wednesday. The workers being sought were hired to register voters by the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN. "Prosecutors say they were first notified by ACORN about problems with workers in June 2008. "Republicans and conservative activists have accused ACORN of fraud in voter registration drives around the country. ACORN officials say the Florida case proves the organization is committed to an honest process. "The case involved nearly 900 fraudulent voter cards in the Homestead area." Prosecutors notified in June of 2008? But nobody bothered to point that out publicly until now? Go figure. Of course, for those Fox "News" viewers who don't already know, virtually every one of the handful of ACORN workers (out of some 13,000 employees) who were arrested for defrauding the organization, were turned in to officials by ACORN themselves. Here's some help for disinformed Glenn Beck fans: http://www.bradblog.com/?page_id=6500. Yes, ACORN is the one that flags voter registrations themselves as fraudulent before turning them into officials, as they are required to do by law. Contrast this case (and all the other ACORN-smear cases) with the one, among many, that Fox "News" (and the others) forgot to report and/or become outraged about: The arrest, and subsequent guilty plea of the head of the California GOP's own voter registration firm, Mark Anthony Jacoby of Young Political Majors (YPM), for voter registration fraud. Yes, I had to personally break that news on Fox. Oh, yeah, and for good measure, there's well-documented felony vote fraudster Ann Coulter who is even paid by Fox "News" to appear on their network regularly, even to this day. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Mark Crispin Miller's "News From Underground" newsgroup.
