ACORN Surfaces in Colorado Voter Fraud Case

The name of the left-wing organization ACORN pops up on more voter registration fraud news stories around the country than any other single organization. 9News, the Denver teevee news station that is investigating evidence of massive fraud in Colorado, has this follow-up report to the one I posted yesterday:

Kym Cason told 9News she registered herself 25 times and her friends 40 times. Cason claims she was trying to help her boyfriend earn money. He worked for a group called ACORN that paid workers by the hour but had a 5 application per hour quota. Cason told 9News, "everybody needs an extra dollar here now and they need to make their quota for the day."

Jim Fleshman, the regional supervisor for ACORN, told 9News tonight that the organization would fire any worker who did not deliver the required 5 applications per hour. ACORN claims to be a nonpartisan organization that works with low-income families.

9News also found a few bogus forms from the New Voters Project and the Colorado Progressive Coalition.
