In last week’s post about purging the Washington Voter Rolls of over 176,000 names. I also wrote about the local left’s attempt to try and say that since there was only one case of prosecuted voter fraud, that the purging of so many names wasn’t all that significant.
They were wrong then and they are wrong once again.
Potential fraud feared in drive to sign up voters
Hundreds of voter-registration cards submitted as part of a drive to sign up low-income and minority voters may have been forged by paid canvassers, a King County election official said Thursday.
Problems were found with many of the 1,829 forms within a day after they were received from ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, whose canvassers have been under investigation in some other states for possible registration fraud.
“When we opened the box we very quickly noticed there were hundreds of forms where the handwriting was the same,” said election spokeswoman Bobbie Egan. “We were able to see very quickly and clearly there appears to be evidence of possible forgery.”
An election worker called the voters’ phone numbers listed on 400 of the registration cards — and found that only two were correct, Egan said. Those two people said they hadn’t filled out registration forms during the drive last fall.
Officials have sent letters asking ACORN-registered voters for more information, Egan said, and, “a vast majority are coming back as undeliverable.”
Hyper-leftist registration groups probably using a phone book to sign up new voters gets no press on the local left sites. Only Stephan Sharkansky of the local Sound Politics blog was willing to talk about this when the story broke last Friday.
But that’s not all!
The Shark also has the pdf file showing that the Jefferson County Prosecutor is looking into charges against a prominent Dem couple, Todd and Rebekah McGuire, for possibly double voting.
I think we can carefully conclude that the local left-blogger’s rate of fraud (.00004) is down the drain.
ACORN is the group that is under indictment in Kansas City for voter fraud.
Why doesn’t the WA GOP sue to preclude them from generating still more fraud in WA?
