ACORN Is Busy, While Republicans Sleep

Thirty thousand felons illegally registered to vote in Florida? Nothing to see here. Move along, move along.

Obama And ACORN

The Wall Street Journal provides a nice summary of ACORN and its activities today. If Republicans had the good sense to hammer on this, the Democrat's role in the subprime meltdown and the Democrats' no-energy policy, they'd win in a landslide.

Do they have the nuggets? No evidence so far.

To Democrats, Voter Fraud Equals Economic Stimulus

Don't take my word for it, take the Democrats' word for it.

"A couple of basic things this legislation would have done: first of all, it would have continued what we started in the end of last year, foreclosure prevention counseling dollars, to give money to organizations around the country that are certifiably expert at this, organizations like La Raza. I know the presiding officer knows that group. We know also the Association for Community Organizations for Reform Now, known by the acronym ‘ACORN.’ "

Democrats' Voter ID "Victim" Registered In Two States

The Democratic Party, which opposes any attempt to prevent voter fraud, chose Faye Buis-Ewing its victim of choice. Supposedly, Ms Buis-Ewing was denied a ballot because she could not produce an ID.

Well, as it turns out, Ms Buis-Ewing is actually a poster child for voter fraud. She's registered to vote in two states.

On the eve of a hearing before the U.S. Supreme Court, the Indiana Voter ID law has become a story with a twist: One of the individuals used by opponents to the law as an example of how the law hurts older Hoosiers is registered to vote in two states.

Faye Buis-Ewing, 72, who has been telling the media she is a 50-year resident of Indiana, at one point in the past few years also claimed two states as her primary residence and received a homestead exemption on her property taxes in both states.

Monday night from her Florida home, Ewing said she and her husband Kenneth “winter in Florida and summer in Indiana.” She admitted to registering to vote in both states, but stressed that she¹s never voted in Florida. She also has a Florida driver’s license, but when she tried to use it as her photo ID in the Indiana elections in November 2006, poll workers wouldn’t accept it.

Subsequently, Ewing became a sort-of poster child for the opposition when the Indiana League of Women Voters (ILWV) told media that the problems Ewing had voting that day shows why the high court should strike it down.

Obviously, Ms Buis-Ewing has a very good reason for not wanting a state-issued ID.
