ACORN Defendants Plead Guilty to Voter-Registration Fraud

Three former ACORN workers pled guilty to voter-registration fraud in Washington State today.
The Seattle Times reported:

Three of seven defendants in the biggest voter-registration fraud scheme in Washington history have pleaded guilty and one has been sentenced, prosecutors said Monday.

The defendants were all temporary employees of ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, when they allegedly filled out and submitted more than 1,800 fictitious voter-registration cards during a 2006 registration drive in King and Pierce counties.

No votes were cast in the names of the phony voters. Prosecutors said the defendants committed fraud in order to keep their jobs without actually registering voters.

King County election workers brought the fraud to the attention of prosecutors last October, after noticing that signatures on many registration forms looked like they had been written by the same person.

Ryan Olson, 28, of Needles, Calif., was the first to be sentenced. He pleaded guilty Thursday in King County Superior Court to two counts of providing false information on a voter-registration application, a felony. Court Commissioner Kenneth Comstock sentenced him to 30 days in jail or in electronic home detention, the sentence recommended by prosecutors, said Dan Donohoe, spokesman for the King County Prosecutor's Office.

Tina Johnson, 24, of Tacoma, and Jayson Woods, 20, of Elkridge, Md., also have pleaded guilty to eight counts each of registration fraud. Donohoe said prosecutors have recommended 120 days of jail for each of them using the same formula applied to Olson: 15 days for each count.

  1. The Democrats need every vote they can get. They will leave no child, dog, cat, illgeal alien or felon behind. And they love Halloween, too! They can register all the dead.

  2. The basic function of the citizen is to cast a vote for proper governance and someone who commits fraud against the system only gets thirty days? Well I guess it depends on which side of the fraud you're on. Prog state, Prog judges. Who gives a damn as long as you win!

  3. BTW, King county did a real job of storing away ballots for a rainy day. They found at least eight or nine hundred of them, just like an easter egg hunt.

    I think the MSM has been asleep at this particular switch since JFK was "elected". Bob Dornan got bounced out of congress by a few hundred votes, 80% of which were determined to have been cast by illegal immigrants. Everybody shrugged it off.

    The really cool twist will be that in 2008 all of the Dead Kennedy's will cast votes for Hillary. I don't mean Jello Biafra, and East Bay Ray, I mean John Fitzgerald, Patrick, Robert Fitzgerald, John John, etc. The entire nation of Mexico could vote for her, and the MSM would just report a Clinton landslide and leave it at that.

  7. Per his/her/it's usual habit Xanthippas' grip on both recent history and reality is at best questionable but he/she/it has no problem bragging about it...

    Anyway could the biggest campaign finance fraud situation just laying in the weed to come out and bite the hildabeast?

    Could there be some substance to the Hillary Clinton Accountability Project?

    Note that New Media Journal has a 7 Parter on alledged Hillary campaign finance fraud

    2006 Election Analysis

    [Officeholders tied to Washington scandals, however, lost in greater number Tuesday. In national exit polls, voters said corruption and ethics in government were extremely important factors in their vote, outranking (by a small margin) terrorism, the economy, Iraq and illegal immigration.]

    United States Senate elections, 2006

    excerpt:

    [The party balance for the Senate now stands at 51-49 in favor of the Democrats (including independent Bernie Sanders and Independent Democrat Joe Lieberman, who caucus with the Democrats). The Democrats need 51 seats to control the Senate because the Vice President of the United States, Republican Dick Cheney, would break a 50-50 tie in favor of the Republicans.]

    there ya go..

    on top of that..

    "Congress may have changed hands, but overall this election was not competitive," Krumholz said. "Incumbents overwhelmed their opponents� or simply ran unopposed� because they had a huge cash advantage."

    yep, that was a real "cut & run" mandate race if there ever was one (and i was the Queen of Sheba in a previous life :D)..

  10. It is obvious that voter fraud was heavily responsible for the close race in the last two major elections. These people are not democrats they are socialist/communist/liberal democrats and what they are doing is disgraceful. This is what is meant by "destroying us from within" first the schools, next the media and now fixing our elections. This is reminiscent of third world countries. The "fix" is in and Obama knows it, after all he helped train the fixers at ACORN. All of those people out their supporting Obama should register in a large volume book, so that when our future history of the United States books are printed you will all get the credit you deserve for helping to destroy your Country, the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. You should hold your heads down in shame. You have destroyed the State of California, it in itself is now a third world Country. You will not be happy until all states are in the same financial and social condition. You have flushed morals and ethics down the toilets of your homes. And the most disgraceful thing you are doing is going after the largest socialist block in this country, our children, true socialism they eat and live off of Mom and Dad and have never been responsible for paying a bill in their entire lives. Yes, oh yes you should be so proud. With Obama in the whitehouse, the senate and congress all in "lockstep" we will have our own Hugo Chevez and if they do something even you do not like, it will be too late to do a thing about it. Thank you so very much.

  13. The type of voter fraud being committed in this country and being unchallenged, is reminiscent of third world countries, which the liberals have been attempting to turn us into for years now. These are not democrats they are socialist/communist/liberal democrats. This is how they "destroy us from within." First the schools and now all of our national elections. The "fix" is in and Obama is confident of that. This is disgraceful and you out there reading this who back him will rue the day you did so. With control of congress, the senate and the Whitehouse we will have our own Hugo Chevez. Thank you so very much liberal democrats/socialist/communist you should register your name's so that in our future history books, you can get the recognition you deserve for helping to destroy your Country the United States of America. If you have your way all of our States will become third world and near bankrupt as is California. And who does your party go after, why the larges socialist group in our nation our kids, who still live off of Mom and Dad and haven't paid a bill in their lives, that is true socialism. You should hang your heads in shame. clvmichigan
