McCaskill's ACORN Friends Submit 1,492 Bogus Voter Cards
Update: Surprisingly, the AP is following the story tonight.
At least 16 local democrats have been sentenced for election violations since 2004.
Arena of Ideas sends the latest on Claire McCaskill...
Claire McCaskill helps the elderly with their voter cards at the Senior Center while bashing President Bush and Jim Talent.
Once again, this was caught by democrat blogger PubDef who was at the event. In fact, the democrats asked him to leave but this is what happened:
He (a McCaskill aide) asked a worker at the elderly care facility to ask me to leave. She came over, we talked, turns out we know each other, we hugged, and then she left.And, that is how PubDef got the video of Claire offering her assistance to the elderly voters at the nursing home.
Also in the news...
The ACORN Group, the same group that was telling Missourians to vote for Claire McCaskill while registering them to vote, is now in trouble for turning in 1,492 fraudulent voter cards of dead people and teens.
The St. Louis Post Dispatch, who still has not reported that the ACORN workers were working for Claire McCaskill, has this on the latest voter fraud in St. Louis:
St. Louis Election Board officials say they've discovered at least 1,492 "potentially fraudulent" voter registration cards - including three from dead people and one from a 16-year-old - among the thousands pouring in before today's voter registration deadline for the Nov. 7 election.However in the taped interviews at PubDef the voter registration workers name who of the ACORN leaders were telling them to push Claire McCaskill.
City Republican elections director Scott Leiendecker said the board's staff expects to find even more bogus voter-registration applications among the thousands remaining to be processed. The board plans to turn all the questionable cards over to city Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce for investigation and possible prosecution, said board chairman Kimberley Mathis.
The board says all the questionable cards were turned in by one group - the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, commonly known as ACORN.
Brian Mellor, the group's election counsel, said that it welcomed any prosecutions of workers who turn in fraudulent cards. "We try very hard to monitor the employees, but there are chances of things slipping through," he said.

Looks like YouTube has pulled the Video.
Michelle pointed this out the other day, and called them AllahTube,now that Google has bought them, it will get worse.
"This video has been removed by the user." Somehow I doubt it.
Back when I worked in St. Louis for the Dems, I passed out Dem candidate literature folded around $5 bills.
Also worked in Milwaukee, another place recently clobbered by massive fraud. Bush might have won Wisconsin in '00 and '04, but for massive fraud by Dems in Milwaukee and Madison.
I don't know the reason the video was yanked. It is not working at PubDef anymore, either.
PubDef is claiming that they made the video private because it was being misrepresented by "conservative web sites". Apparently they are happy to post news, but only if conservatives don't comment about it.
If they really think it is being misrepresented, why don't they request a correction? And they call themselves "non-partisan." If so, they have very strange ideas about how to advance discovery of the truth.
I left a comment over at PubDef:
I do not understand your justification for making the video private. If you think it is being mis-represented, why don't you send requests for corrections? If what happened is that the video captured some illicit behavior that you were not aware of, and you are pulling it to protect the guilty, that is pretty bad behavior on your part.
Either way, uncovering of the truth is not advanced by pulling the evidence. Conservative websites WILL post corrections, where warranted, and will certainly acknowledge your different interpretation if you ask them.
1,492 bogus voter cards. An auspicious number to be sure. With 1492, corruption tries to make state blue.
ACORN organizers are well-intentioned. When an organization attempts to gain the coverage that they are after and usually are able to utilize successfully, they have to deal within the same make-up of the population as every other $8/hour employer. Some choose to use the job to restore their faith in the political process and benefit the community, while others choose to remain broken--choosing the easy money instead of waiting for the larger one. It's the age old example of telling a child, "If you want a piece of candy now, you can only have one, but if you wait, I'll give you three." Those employees were fired for fraud. That's in the other pubdef video that's still available. Way to be fair and balanced.
