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.

    They documented 2,812 votes by the dead in the same election they certifed a “win” by 312 votes?

    I’m sure I’m not reading that right…

    When did Minnesota become a banana republic?

  • mnconservative

    That’s a rhetorical question right?

    [blockquote]Because the general population is ignorant white trash.

    That’s why I’m voting republican from now on. We need to give republicans the wheel so they can not only drive us off the cliff, they can sprinkle the wreckage with gasoline and ignite it.

    The sooner we bankrupt this country the sooner we can destroy it.

    so, who did the dead folks vote for i presume they were dead prior to the actual november election, right) and were those votes all thrown out?

  • sayanything-5371

    Franken’s campaign was “advised” by Paul Berendt, State Chairman of the Washington State Dem Party. This is the same guy who orchestrated the recount between Dino Rossi (R) and Christine Gregoire (D) in the 2004 Washington State Governors race. Using the same tactics of enhanced ballots and “finding” more democrat votes and no new republican votes Berendt has helped at least two democrats cheat to win at all costs. Oh, and Acorn is very big in Washington state and was very involved in the fraudulent cheating there as well.

    The question that should be asked is why was the race for the senate seat that close? What were the Minnesotans that voted (the ones that weren’t dead) for this creep thinking? Did he ride to victory on Obamas coattails? [Obama did win Minnesota; what were those that voted for Obama thinking, or probably not thinking.]

    Sure looks that way.

  • DINO

    You shitstains keep losing elections because your party led the country to economic ruin. You fucked up. BAD.

    If you want to blame the media, ACORN, sunspots, eczema, or chronic halitosis, be our guest. Your delusions of grandeur (“how could we have lost the election? We did such a great job!”) only insures that you remain in the minority, relegated to tea parties, assassination fantasies and outrage overload.

  • sayanything-5371

    dino, you are an asshole breather who likes the smell of dung and can’t tell stinky sphincter from clean poontang.

  • navtechie

    Dino,

    did the goat out back turn you down again?

    fuckin waste of oxygen

  • FlyOnTheWall

    an independent firm who specializes in “death suppression”

    Navtechie, this here ‘death suppression’ would make the cost of health care skyrocket. I’m agi’n it.

    Whether the peculiar case of 2,800+ deceased individuals casting ballots is a matter of fraud, human error, or resurrection is of little importance at the moment.

    The article is just a treasure trove of notable quotes.

    I never wanted to live in Chicago because of the corruption, so Chicago just came to the whole country.

    ACORN and Franken stole that election.

  • http://sayanythingblog.com/readers/author/realitybasedbob/ realitybasedbob

    Can you definitively tell us who the dead people voted for?

    Was it 100% gop?

    Was is 50/50.

    Please tell us exactly how many of the dead folks were registered by ACORN and how they voted.

    Then, start over.

  • DINO

    Yes they did. And they stole the Presidency too! If not for ACORN we’d be living in a McCain/Palin Utopia. But instead, the Kenyan-born, best friend to Bill Ayers, communist, married-to-an-America-hater, NEGRO is going to bankrupt the country, give half your pay to the lazy black people and send your Grandma to an early grave!

    AND THERE’S NOT A FUCKING THING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT NOW!

    Hahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!

    Following the links:

    Posted by: Dan McGrath

    Minnesota Majority employed a data enhancement service to flag potentially deceased individuals on Minnesota’s voter registration file. Over 2,800 individuals who voted in the 2008 general election were flagged as being “deceased” prior to the election. Minnesota Majority then selected a sample of a dozen records for additional investigation. A representative drove to addresses listed on voter registration records. Interviews conducted with residents or neighbors confirmed that at least 5 individuals from the sample were deceased, the latest having died in March 2007.

    And then Dan commented on his own blog to a readers question:

    Of the 12 we sampled, we were able to positively identify 5 voters as being deceased – but we were obly able to determine that 2 of them were alive. The other 5 are still suspected dead voters but we haven’t confirmed them one way or the other at this time.

    What is the average number of dead people voting in a state with a similar population?

    Anyone?

    Dino: There is no need for you to continue going through life like this. There are many medications that would help you to overcome your “problem”. Perhaps you might consider giving Michael Jackson’s personal doctor a call. I’ll bet he could help you.

  • http://sayanythingblog.com/readers/author/realitybasedbob/ realitybasedbob

    Understand that the web site that did this “research” calls themselves Minnesota Majority, when the state voted for Obama 54 – 44 and 5 of the 8 house seats are held by Democratic Party members and both Senators are from the Democratic Party.

  • gustave776

    did franken vote to fund them?????

  • DINO

    Don’t blame us that you walking shitstains can’t win elections. Maybe if you weren’t such negative fuck-ups with no ideas left you could inspire people beyond the stupid, ignorant, mouth-breathers who frequent FOX News to vote for your vile candidates.

  • Harry

    A very no brainer question. Like asking if the sun rises in the east. Washington election was/is very deep in fraud with ACORN. (Gov)Gargoyle got in office twice by ACORN shenanigans.

  • http://insanereindeer.blogspot.com/ Kenny

    Minnesota had votes “found” after the election. And the only standard used from county to county was that the method was used that’d get Franken more votes. The most blatant case of vote fraud ever.

    And that Sparkie would point to a mistake in Florida to justify it is, for the second time tonight, completely shameful.

  • http://www.dartemis.net/blog/ sayanything-42

    One cannot shame the shameless anymore than one can dazzle someone who has been profoundly blind since birth.

  • http://www.indymedia.org/en/index.shtml Angry Vertebrate

    Always entertaining, you conspiracy theorists go from insanity to insanity. Rob links to a blog which links to another blog which links to some guy who drove around checking on a handful of dead people. This is somehow proof of ACORN election fraud?

    Not enough evidence has been provided for a sane person to see if ACORN rigged an election. But somehow clear proof of fraud to the insane conservatives. You guys are nuts. Get help.

    i love this site. but the banter back and forth between lefties and righties is stupid. i don’t mind reading the left’s views but arguing and getting nowhere is disheartning and not interesting. it is futile, just hurling insults.

    YES

  • ellinas

    The really scary thing? No fewer than 2,812 dead citizens were registered and cast ballots in that election.

    The really scary thing? No one took the time to ascertain whether those dead voters voted democratic or republican.
    Through innuendo, some are trying to make a case.
    Where’s the beef?

  • http://www.bikebubba.blogspot.com/ Bike Bubba

    Seems that liberals are having trouble figuring out that:

    1. Most of the worst problems in the Minnesota vote were in DFL dominated areas.

    2. ACORN did most of its voter registration in DFL dominated areas.

    …and then inferring for whom the fraudulent votes might be cast. I know for a fact that the guys voting in front of me verified their “eligibility” to vote with the flimsiest of documents, and they knew nothing about the town in which they were voting. Their conversation also made it clear that they were voting for a clown from New York, as well as one from Chicago.

  • Lioncourt

    Their conversation also made it clear that they were voting for a clown from New York

    Than clearly they were voting for Coleman as Al Franken is from Minnesota and Coleman is from New York.

    Try again. Who is the one who has lived most of his life here? Hint; it’s not the guy who ACORN helped “win”.

    Curious: Did Acron in Minnesota destroy Republican registrations as it did in New Orleans? Suggest ads to bring people forward with evidence.
