Did ACORN’s Fraudulent Voter Registrations Give Al Franken His Senate Win
There’s no smoking gun, but looking at the numbers I think the answer is probably “yes they did.”
Here in Minnesota, ACORN has boasted of playing a major role in the 2008 elections. It claims to have registered 43,000 new voters, which it describes as 75 percent of the state’s new registrations. Franken’s margin of victory in the Senate race was razor-thin: 312 votes out of about 3 million cast. And Minnesota’s laws on proof of voter eligibility are notoriously loose. Did ACORN folks pull some fast ones to help get their favorite son Franken elected — a win that handed Democrats the 60-vote, veto-proof majority that they needed to enact their liberal agenda?
Secretary of State Mark Ritchie assures us that Minnesota’s system of voter verification protects electoral integrity.
But here’s an uncomfortable fact: Ritchie himself was endorsed by the now-notorious ACORN and elected with its help.
The really scary thing? No fewer than 2,812 dead citizens were registered and cast ballots in that election.
No wonder ACORN was able to get away with so much for so long. They were integral to Democrat election strategy.
