Criminal Enterprise or Mudslinging Target?
Accusations of voter-registration fraud swirled around the left-leaning, get-out-the-vote group ACORN, with state and federal agents raiding its Las Vegas offices Tuesday and Republican operatives holding no less than five conference calls to link the organization with Barack Obama and accuse it of registering thousands of reportedly nonexistent, low-income (and largely Democratic) voters.

At least six states have reported receiving bogus registration forms from ACORN, but no one has yet been charged with wrongdoing. And political observers note that the GOP lobs fraud accusations at the organization almost every election cycle.

Several ACORN workers have pleaded guilty to fraud in the past, but the organization says that it's the real victim: ACORN alerts elections officials to questionable registrations (and is required by law to turn in ALL registration forms, valid or not) and seeks punishment of dishonest workers (they are paid by the hour, but evaluated on how many names they register). Meanwhile, criminal investigations of ACORN continue in Nevada and Indiana.

I have to wonder how many applications the top employees have turned in.  What is the bonus program like?  The top employees made $xxx,xxx...this past twelve months?

Dial tone represents Ohio official's concern about voter fraud

Stealing Ohio, chapter five.

WTAM 1100’s Bob Frantz invited Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner’s Communications Director, Brian Clark, on air, to discuss the safeguards in place to prevent voter fraud in Ohio.

They had lively discussion about the court case which, before the Secretary of State got it reversed on appeal, ordered verification of Ohio's newly registered voters.

When the conversation turned to specific allegations of ACORN voter registration fraud, Frantz’s interview ended exactly the same way as his last interview with a Secretary of State spokesman -- a dial tone:

You can listen to the previous conversation in which the office hung up on Franz rather than talk about safeguards in place to protect against voter fraud. You can listen 2008 to Jeff Ortega, Spokesman for Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, become frustrated and hang up when he is unable to explain what safeguards are in place to protect against voter fraud in Ohio in a YouTube clip here.

After next week, fraudulent voter registrations can no longer be challenged in Ohio. In a Fox News interview available here, former Ohio secretary of State Ken Blackwell explains what is at stake in Ohio with ACORN's fraudulent voter registration.

Voter verification means accuracy

There have been misstatements and confusion over the recent implementation of the voter-verification law -- the ''no match, no vote'' law. The Division of Elections' mission, along with local supervisors of elections, is to register voters and make sure that they can cast a ballot on Election Day that will be counted. This law will not affect the status of the 10.7 million voters who were registered before Sept. 8. It will apply to all applications received on or after Sept. 8, 2008.

The voter-verification law became effective in January 2006 and was in effect until December 2007. That's when a court ordered the department to stop the process. That ruling was overturned on appeal. The law was reimplemented Sept. 8, 2008.

Obvious errors, including nicknames or typos, will be resolved and that applicant will be registered to vote. Every voter-registration applicant must provide a Florida driver's license number, state identification-card number or the last four digits of the Social Security number. The identification number is automatically cross-checked against the Florida driver's license database or that of the Social Security Administration.

If that number does not match, the Bureau of Voter Registration Services does a manual review for identifiable typographical errors or a difference between a nickname and formal name based on available records and the voter registration application.

If the number still cannot be matched, the applicant is notified to provide a photocopy of identification by mail, fax or e-mail; the applicant may show identification in person. If proof is provided before the election, the applicant becomes registered and the person can vote by regular ballot. If proof is not provided before the election, the person may vote by provisional ballot. Someone can provide proof until 5 p.m. of the second day after the election for the ballot to be counted. Again, this is just for new applications since Sept. 8.

This law is about verifying identity at the time of registration, so that when the voter goes to the polls, the voter can use a regular ballot, not a provisional ballot. A voter can show a driver's license, Florida identification card from the state database, passport, debit or credit card or identification from the military, school, retirement center, neighborhood association or public assistance on Election Day. This law does not target specific groups. The U.S. Department of Justice reviewed the law in 2005, and after revisions to the law in 2007 and 2008, found that the law did not deny or abridge the right to vote based on race, color or membership in a language minority group.

Courts have held that the voter-verification law is valid because the state has a ''compelling'' interest to have accurate voter rolls. Despite what critics have said, the state provided examples of fraudulent applications that had come through the system because the law had been temporarily stopped.
