4 ACORN Ex-Workers to Face Vote Fraud Trial in Pa.

More news stories on Elections

Joe Mandak, Breitbart, June 5, 2009

Four former ACORN workers in western Pennsylvania will face trial on charges that they forged, illegally solicited or illegally filled out voter registration cards before the November election.

That’s after a court hearing in Pittsburgh on Friday.

Twenty-year-old Pittsburgh resident Eric Jones waved his preliminary hearing. Three others were held for trial: 23-year-old West Mifflin resident Alexis Givner and two Pittsburgh residents, 21-year-old Ashley Clarke and 28-year-old Mario Grisom.

Prosecutors charged seven ACORN workers in May. One had already been ordered to stand trial and two others had their preliminary hearings postponed.

ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, has also come under scrutiny for registration irregularities in other states.

I truly hope they can put enough of these people away to make a difference with the next vote. I am concern however that the census is now being put in the hands of the Chicago political machinery which relocated to DC. This could be the end of fair elections.

When i was a kid we got (I think) a dime for every new Grant’s credit card customer we signed up. We had little “Grant Game” cards. Of course giving any old nit wit a credit card brought the company to its knees.

Maybe these guys get a dollar for each voter registration. Of course, as in the recent federal ruling against Georgia, if you don’t respect your democracy you end up like WT Grant - bankrupt and out of business. The path America is on today, in fact.

This prosecution is a waste of time. Either the DoJ will scuttle the case the way they did with the voter-intimidation charges, or the empty suit these criminals helped send to the White House will simply pardon them.
