ACORN Raided in Nevada Vote Fraud Probe
Posted on: Tuesday, 7 October 2008, 15:00 CDT
Nevada authorities said Tuesday they raided the Las Vegas offices of the controversial voter-registration activist group, ACORN.
The Secretary of State's Office confirmed to the Las Vegas Review-Journal that a search warrant was served at the ACORN office as part of a probe into suspected voter registration fraud.
The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN, has been under withering attack from the Republican Party for allegedly signing up unqualified voters in order to boost Democratic presidential candidate Barrack Obama.
ACORN has stated that while it indeed targets low-income voters, it is required to turn in all of the registration cards it collects to state officials nationwide regardless of any problems with the information provided by the people they signed up.
The Review Journal reported that the Secretary of State's Office said ACORN employees were suspected of using false names or addresses in their registration efforts, including the names of some former members of the Dallas Cowboys.
