A man at the center of a voter-registration scandal told The Post yesterday he was given cash and cigarettes by aggressive ACORN activists in exchange for registering an astonishing 72 times, in apparent violation of Ohio laws.
"Sometimes, they come up and bribe me with a cigarette, or they'll give me a dollar to sign up," said Freddie Johnson, 19, who filled out 72 separate voter-registration cards over an 18-month period at the behest of the left-leaning Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now.
"The ACORN people are everywhere, looking to sign people up. I tell them I am already registered. The girl said, 'You are?' I say, 'Yup,' and then they say, 'Can you just sign up again?' " he said.
Here is the group BHO was a big part of...When you try to look for actual accomplishments of BHO, you really can't find any. All you can find are groups he was apart of, and most of those seem to be corrupt, dishonest and dirty. And we are not even talking about the people he hangs out with.

just the type any neighborhood wants running around, door-to-door
perhaps barky is training them to be door-to-door home invaders
acorn does not commit voter fraud. let me repeat that. acorn does not commit voter fraud. voter fraud is when someone knowingly votes when they don't have the right to vote. that's voter fraud.
acorn gets people to register. acorn does not register voters. acorn accepts registration cards that people fill out, and turns then in to local registrar's offices. they are required to turn in what is filled in and given to them. it is up to the registrar to determine what is valid and what is not.
if someone fills in a registration card for brett favre, it is not voter fraud unless that person attempts to go to the poll and vote as brett favre. unlikely.
there is little if ANY proof of actual voter fraud on record. that's why the bush administration fired all the us attorneys that didn't prosecute any.
The country's in the tank and this is what you blog about? Clueless to the end...
from ben smith at politico:
The key distinction here is between voter fraud and voter registration fraud, one of which is truly dangerous, the other a petty crime.
The former would be, say, voting the cemeteries or stuffing the ballot boxes. This has happened occasionally in American history, though I can think of recent instances only in rare local races. Practically speaking, this can most easily be done by whoever is actually administering the election, which is why partisan observers carefully oversee the vote-counting process.
The latter is putting the names of fake voters on the rolls, something that happens primarily when organizations, like Acorn, pay contractors for new voter registrations. That can be a crime, and it messes up the voter files, but there's virtually no evidence these imaginary people then vote in November [emphaisis added]. The current stories about Acorn don't even allege a plan to affect the November vote.
