Voter fraud

Voter fraud is being investigated in about 10 states, most of them so-called "swing states" where a few votes could swing the outcome one way or another. The organization behind the voter fraud is ACORN or Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, a nationwide left-wing organization devoted to providing funding for groups and individuals (such as mortgages) and to register voters (usually poor, black voters who will likely vote Democratic) thru a program called "Project Vote". ACORN obtain their funds thru grants, usually from local or federal govt. agencies. Their record of giving unsecured mortgages to poor people to get them into the housing market is one of the factors that triggered the subprime mortgage crisis. Since they are anti-capitalist I suppose the leaders of ACORN don't mind this crisis.
Barack Obama was named Executive Director of Project Vote in Chicago in 1992 when William Ayers, a former "weatherman" and domestic terrorist (who admitted blowing up the Pentagon with pipe bombs in 1972) obtained an $800,000 federal grant to register voters there thru his academic position. Although Obama has admitted having connections with Ayers, he has called them casual, even though he is on record having had many meetings with Ayers, both professional and personal over a period of years. They served together on the Board of the Woods Foundation, an anti-poverty organization in Chicago, and several other organizations, including the Annenberg Foundation, which pumped millions of dollars into leftist-sponsored education projects. But, now the connection doesn't seem so casual. Previously Obama has stated that it was the founder of Project Vote, Sandy Newman, who invited him back to Chicago after he obtained his law degree, but now we know that it was Ayers who actually appointed him to be in charge of utilizing the funds that he had obtained. As a result Obama later claimed that he had registered 150,000 poor blacks. Wonder who they are voting for.
There is no suggestion here that Obama indulged in voter fraud during his time with Project Vote, but it is now clear that many of these organizations around the country have been doing so, in one case one person was found to be responsible for 80 fradulent registered voters. A good question is why has the FBI not investigated the wide-spread fraudulent actions of this organzation well before now.
