The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now [Obama supporters], more commonly known as "ACORN," has again been caught trying to steal the election.


This time it is in Indiana, where "a large portion" of 5,000 registration forms turned in by ACORN "community organizers" had to be rejected by Lake County elections officials.


Lake County Republican Chairman John Curley wants a federal investigation. An investigation into the "hundreds of voter registrations bearing fictitious signatures or the names of dead:"


Fraudulent applications are the workings of ACORN groups operating from Milwaukee and Chicago who are getting out the vote for Obama.

[. . .]


Curley said one registration form was filled out in the name and address of Jimmy John's, a Crown Point fast-food outlet. Another registration, dated in August, is in the name of a Gary man who died Nov. 16, 2007, according to his death certificate.

Elections officials say ACORN's community organizers pulled names from phone books:


Elections Board Director Sally LaSota and Ruthann Hoagland, a county elections board technologist overseeing voter registration, said Wednesday it appears some ACORN vote canvassers pulled names and addresses from telephone books and forged their signatures.

Last month, ACORN's community organizers were caught trying to steal the election in Connecticut.

Joseph Borges, registrar of voters in Bridgeport said that more than 20% of the the thousands of registrations submitted by ACORN were "fraudulent or duplicate."

It's not just Indiana and Connecticut, Acorn's fraud has been seen in other states including New Mexico, Missouri, Nevada, and Pennsylvania.
