ACORN and the "Worst Case of Voter Registration Fraud in Washington State History"

Yes, we've all heard about the antics of ACORN. How they're now being investigated in 14 states (that's 28% of all states ... yes, better than one out of four) and now by the FBI for allegations of voter registration fraud.

We also know that they have a 10-year record of alleged voter registration fraud (Google this, you'll find it) and have been on the public dole since 1977. (Google that as well.)

But did you hear about Seattle, Washington in 2007?

Glenn Beck did. His programme today highlighted it. I didn't listen to the entire programme as I was in the middle of a few other things. But, he mentioned Seattle. ACORN, according to his programme, turned in 1,800 "voter registrations."

The Seattle elections board wanted to check them, but ACORN threatened to sue! To their credit, Seattle checked those 1,800 "voter registrations."

It turns out, again according to today's Glenn Beck programme, that a total of six were valid.

SIX. SIX OUT OF 1,800!

Now, again, I'm none-too-bright according to my now ex-wife, so bear with me as I do the division: 6 / 1800 = 0.0033333333333333333333333333333333

We now need to convert this to a percentage, so 100 x 0.0033333333333333333333333333333333 = 0.333333333333%

In other words, one THIRD OF ONE PER CENT were valid.

Now a link to Michelle Malkin's site that deals with it: http://michellemalkin.com/2007/07/26/acorn-falls-again-the-worst-case-of-voter-registration-fraud-in-washington-state-history/

And yet, ACORN is still around. If they'd been right-leaning, my word. They've been run out of business nine years and eleven months ago. But ACORN is left-leaning and have been at it for TEN YEARS.

Gotta love the double-standard.

As Michelle Malkin wrote at the time (and I'm leaving the link in there because it leads to a Google search) "ACORN and voter fraud: Perfect together."

Amen. You can say that again. :)
