Many have asked for a source of the ACORN corruption of the electoral process. Now that they have been spotted in Ventura County registering Democrat voters, we need to have an understanding of the Banana Republic/corruption attitude of this organization.
A friend just sent me this web site for the documentation. Go here to see the national scope of this organization, which Barack Obama donated almost a million dollars to "enhance" its efforts.
After reading the facts, you need to be concerned about the integrity of the electoral process. Between intimidation, registration and voter fraud, ACORN is the leading cause of the problem.
Now, they are in our county.
ACORN pales in comparison to the voter fraud supported by right wing nutjobs over the years. Look what the wingnuts did in Ohio 4 years ago. They purged the roles of "felons" using first and last name only(not birthdate or social security number). THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE who WERE NOT criminals but had the same first and last names of felons had their right to vote taken away when they showed up at the polls.
And now right wing fringe wignuts are complaing abouyt "voter fraud". LOL Steve!!!
Hmm....again Stevarino points to some nefarious plot, this time ACORN.
Looking to the link he cites, we find that it is "Election Journal" a site run by a Mike Roman.
If you "google" him, along with Election Journal you find a site that identifies him as being (at least) a :
Past
* Private Investigator at The Detectives, Inc
* National Director, Ballot Access and Delegate Selection at Rudy Giuliani Presidential Committee, Inc
* Director of Election Day Operations at Republican National Committee
Sounds like just another Republican party apparatchik to me!
To revisit the prior "Frankly" allegation of impropriety, that being under-age registrars...(view prior post on this blog), the Ventura Star reports today that County Recorder Schmit said:
"I spoke to the two individuals, and I spoke to one of the boys' mother, and I said, You cannot be registering people to vote,'" Schmit said in an interview.
"The boys just took down their stuff, and that was the end of it," he said.
Schmit said any voters who handed in their cards to the boys won't have their registrations challenged, as they are not identifiable among the thousands of cards filled out Monday.
He said the event was minor and "most certainly does not" threaten the reliability of the county's voter rolls going into the most contested election in years.
But the incident was quickly announced by state GOP officials, who issued a statement to the press charging that "the Democratic registration organization had hired underage people to register voters, a clear violation of the California Election Code."
The Ventura County Recorder's official voters guide says "there are no statutory requirements specifying citizenship, age or other criteria for persons distributing self-registration affidavits."
Both Schmit and the state Republican party's Sacramento lawyer, Chuck Bell, cited Elections Code section 1109, which says only that "any person who is a registered voter qualifies for appointment as a deputy registrar of voters."
Schmit said he understood state election laws to prohibit minors from passing out or collecting the forms, which are widely available in public offices.
But neither Schmit nor Bell could point to any law that prohibits minors or nonvoters from distributing or collecting the mail-in registration forms, which replaced the need to register with an official deputy registrar in California in 1976."
WHEW!! Much ado about virtually nothing Stevarino!
Too bad there aren't real issues for you to be the front for!
You have to love the leftists. You slam documented evidence in front of them about the Left's corruption and all they can say is "nuh uh!" and "the right did the same thing much worse even though I have no evidence to back it up!" When looking at this blog, I think people should weigh the evidence and credibility of Steve Frank next to the lack of evidence and credibility of his critics. I'm sorry, but "wrong again Steve-a-rino!" is not an argument. Just because you say something, it doesn't mean it's true.

This is absolutely astounding. The widespread proven fraud is just plain scary. To think the lengths that some people will go to get their candidate elected.
And I think Obama's affiliation with this organization is completely relevant. If he is donating tons of money to advance the efforts of an organization committing massive nationwide fraud, I think we have a huge problem. It shows either complete corruption or blatant lack of good judgment on Obama's part.
One part of getting rid of voter fraud is to install a truly transparent, open source election system. One such idea is described in detail at http://sea-cat.info
Thomas Caraway: Be careful listening to Rush Limbaugh for "Facts" Remember that people who do drop 15 points a year in IQ.
Talk about lack of transparency, what about Obama? This guy is still a big mystery to an awful lot of people.
Who is he? What does he stand for exactly? What were/are his exact relationships with such people and organizations as William Ayers, Tony Rezko, Louis Farakhan, Reverend Jeremiah Wright, Franklin Raines, ACORN, etc., etc.? There are still far too many unanswered questions that are lingering out there about this guy. He is a talented orator. That's about all I know about him at this point.
At least with John McCain you know exactly what you're getting. He will definitely stand up for America's interests in the world. He will place the safety and security of our nation as his number one priority, as it should be.
With Obama, I'm not sure how he will react to a foreign policy or international crisis. He has no record or experience in this area. And believe me, there are many countries and organizations out there that are salivating over the opportunity to test him. Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, North Korea, and Cuba to name just a few.
JW: In response to your response of my comment, thank you so much for making my point. Your response was to point a finger and insult rather than make an intelligent argument with factual support. If you would like to embarrass yourself further with pointless mindless mudslinging, please, be my guest because it really doesn't bother me. I only hope that you can grow up and learn how to think for yourself.
PS. I watch CNN thank you.
