ACORN Vegas offices raided
October 7th, 2008
From the AP:
Nevada state authorities are raiding the Las Vegas headquarters of an organization that works to get low-income people to vote.
A Nevada secretary of state’s office spokesman said Tuesday that investigators are looking for evidence of voter fraud at the office of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, also called ACORN.
No one was at the ACORN office when state agents arrived with a search warrant and began carting records and documents away.
Secretary of State spokesman Bob Walsh says ACORN is accused of submitting multiple voter registrations with false and duplicate names.
The raid comes two months after state and federal authorities formed a task force to pursue election-fraud allegations in Nevada.
ACORN or the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now has been linked to voter fraud before and received attention recently when Sen. Lindsay Graham noted during the bailout negotiations that the group was going to receive money as part of the bailout bill.
Senator Obama also has links to the group, according to the AP: “Obama was part of a team of attorneys who represented ACORN in a lawsuit against the state of Illinois in 1995 for failing to implement a federal law designed to make it easier for the poor and others to register as voters.”
