- "Obama had briefly worked with ACORN on voter registration drives when he practiced civil rights law in Chicago. The group’s leaders believed that, once Obama was in the White House, ACORN would become an even more influential group. But they hadn’t anticipated the fusion of right-wing forces that brought ACORN down."
"Had ACORN still been around in 2016, it might have prevented a real threat to democracy—Donald Trump—from becoming president. ACORN had developed a finely honed grassroots approach to registering voters and getting them to the polls. By putting its operation to work in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan—where Trump beat Hillary Clinton by only 77,000 votes to win the Electoral College—ACORN might have changed the outcome." - [Leftist] Dissent Magazine [https://www.dissentmagazine.org/online_articles/acorn-firestorm-documentary-breitbart-vs-grassroots]
- "The scandal-plagued ACORN may no longer exist, but its tarnished legacy lives on in court, as the activist group and its former employees face criminal punishment."
"So far this year, at least 18 former workers have admitted guilt or been convicted on varying charges of election fraud. The punishment has ranged from probation to several months of prison time."

In 2020, is Barack Obama's close collaborator Joe Biden going to following in his former boss's alleged voter fraud footsteps as explained by Hillary Clinton supporters?
Here are three Fred Martinez Monitor posts from October 2008 on how Biden's former boss and close collaborator according to Hillary Clinton supporters committed voter fraud [Fred Martinez's Monitor October 17, 2008 https://fredmartinez.blogspot.com/2008/10/hillary-supporters-upset-by-obamaacorn.html]:
Hillary Supporters: Upset by Obama/ACORN Voter Fraud Share Evidence for RICO case
Hillary supporters share evidence of RICO case against Obama and ACORN 10 October 2008
- Posted by oakleyja in Politics, Voter Fraud.- Hillary supporters share evidence of RICO case against Obama and ACORN 10 October 2008
Hillary
supporters, upset about Chicago fraud politics invading their party are
breaking ranks and working with republicans to provide evidence for
RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) cases being
filed against ACORN and Obama campaign in Chicago and across the
country. Interestingly enough in the same article, Clinton supporters
divulge that McCain is leading in their internal polling of battleground
states, contrary to the cooked polls advertised by national polling
outfits.
Republicans and centrist Democrats are joined together
on this effort to get the truth out about Obama before the November
election. We firmly believe in McCain’s victory and do not believe it
hinges on any developments with RICO. The polls, in our opinon, are
wrong, and the internal numbers we see coming out of NC, VA, PA, OH, IN
and FL show McCain wins in all of those states (there is no mathematical
possibility for Obama to win without taking PA, OH, or FL). We believe
after McCain’s win there will be a continued prosecution of Obama and
members of the Democratic party for voter fraud under RICO statutes in
the months and years ahead. ACORN and leftist Democrats have gone too
far this time — for years ACORN has engineered deliberate election fraud
using taxpayer dollars funneled to it by Democrats. This time, with
both Democrats and Republicans joined against them, ACORN Is going
down…and we believe it will ultimately take Obama, Axelrod, and most of
today’s Democratic leadership down with it.
There IS a RICO
investigation of ACORN and the Obama campaign underway - this has now
been established by the mainstream media. Right now it’s rumored here in
Chicago that Patrick Fitzgerald is heading it (confirmation on that has
not come yet). There is a lot of activity in Chicago right now, with a
lot of IRS agents looking into the finances coming in and out of this
city, and across state lines (this was established on Monday when the
GOP issued emergency press releases that much of Obama’s campaign
contributions could very well be illegal foreign contributions - what
appears to be deliberately poor record keeping designed to hide the true
identities and monetary sources of online donors is at issue here). We
see in 15 states now that ACORN is being busted for attempted voter
fraud, and for fraudulent, illegal voter registratons in the hundreds of
thousands, if not a million. The article below states, and we have
confirmed this with people who know for sure, that the people who
gathered evidence of Obama’s fraud and voter intimidation techniques
during the primaries against Hillary Clinton are sharing everything they
have with the Republican Party and the federal government.
What’s
happening here is something we have never seen before: centrist Clinton
Democrats and Republicans are working together to expose the DNC and
Obama campaign’s illegal activities and orchestrated, coordinated fraud.
Both parties are working with federal agents to investigate ACORN,
which has been funded with upwards of $800,000 in questionable donations
from the Obama campaign (in what appears to be the expressed and
explicit direction to engineer voter fraud in the general election). The
tactics being employed now in the 15 states currently under
investigation are the VERY SAME TACTICS we saw on the ground in Iowa,
Texas, Colorado, Nebraska, Indiana, and other states working for Hillary
Clinton in the primaries.
And all of this ties back to Chicago.
Where the Obama campaign and DNC are now based. [https://fredmartinez.blogspot.com/2008/10/hillary-supporters-upset-by-obamaacorn.html]

Hillary Backers Decry Massive Obama Vote Fraud
Sunday, October 26, 2008 9:02 PM
By: Kenneth R. Timmerman Article Font Size
With
accusations of voter registration fraud swirling as early voting begins
in many states, some Hillary Clinton supporters are saying: “I told you
so.”
Already in Iowa, the Obama campaign was breaking the
rules, busing in supporters from neighboring states to vote illegally in
the first contest in the primaries and physically intimidating Hillary
supporters, they say.
Obama’s surprisingly strong win in
Iowa, which defied all the polls, propelled his upstart candidacy to
front-runner status. But Dr. Lynette Long, a Hillary supporter from
Bethesda, Md, who has a long and respected academic career, believes
Obama’s victory in Iowa and in twelve other caucus states was no
miracle. “It was fraud,” she told Newsmax.
Dr. Long has spent several months studying the caucus and primary results.
“After
studying the procedures and results from all fourteen caucus states,
interviewing dozens of witnesses, and reviewing hundreds of personal
stories, my conclusion is that the Obama campaign willfully and
intentionally defrauded the American public by systematically
undermining the caucus process,” she said.
In Hawaii, for
example, the caucus organizers ran out of ballots, so Obama operatives
created more from Post-its and scraps of paper and dumped them into ice
cream buckets. “The caucuses ended up with more ballots than
participants, a sure sign of voter fraud,” Dr. Long said.
In
Nevada, Obama supporters upturned a wheelchair-bound woman who wanted
to caucus for Hillary, flushed Hillary ballots down the toilets, and
told union members they could only vote if their name was on the list of
Obama supporters.
In Texas, more than 2,000 Clinton and
Edwards supporters filed complaints with the state Democratic Party
because of the massive fraud. The party acknowledged that the Obama
campaign’s actions “amount to criminal violations” and ordered them to
be reported to state and federal law enforcement, but nothing happened.
In
caucus after caucus, Obama bused in supporters from out of state,
intimidated elderly voters and women, and stole election packets so
Hillary supporters couldn’t vote. Thanks to these and other strong-arm
tactics, Obama won victories in all but one of the caucuses, even in
states such as Maine where Hillary had been leading by double digits in
the polls.
Obama’s win in the caucuses, which were smaller
events than the primaries and were run by the party, not the states,
gave him the margin of victory he needed to win a razor-thin majority in
the delegate count going into the Democratic National Convention.
Without
these caucus wins – which Dr. Long and others claim were based on fraud
– Hillary Clinton would today be the Democrats’ nominee running against
John McCain.
Citing a detailed report on the voting results
and delegate accounts by accountant Piniel Cronin, “there were only
four pledged delegates between Hillary and Obama once you discount
caucus fraud,” Dr. Long said.
Dr. Long has compiled many of
these eyewitness reports from the 14 caucus states in a 98 page
single-spaced report, and in an interactive Web site:
www.caucusanalysis.org.
ACORN involvement
The
Obama campaign recently admitted that it paid an affiliate of ACORN, the
controversial community organizer that Obama represented in Chicago,
more than $832,00 for “voter turnout” work during the primaries. The
campaign initially claimed the money had been spent on “staging, sound
and light” and “advance work.”
ACORN is now under
investigation by state and federal law enforcement in eleven states for
voter registration fraud. ACORN workers repeatedly registered voters in
the name of “Mickey Mouse,” and twice registered the entire starting
line-up of the Dallas Cowboys – once in Nevada, and again in Minnesota.
A
group that has worked with ACORN in the past registered a dead goldfish
under the name “Princess Nudelman” in Illinois. When Beth Nudelman, a
Democrat, was informed by reporters that her former pet was a registered
voter, she said, “This person is a dead fish."
ACORN was
known for its “intimidation tactics,” says independent scholar Stanley
Kurtz, a senior fellow with the Ethics and Public Policy Center in
Washington, DC. who has researched Obama’s long-standing ties to the
group.
Fully 30 percent of 1.3 million new voters ACORN claims to have registered this year are now believed to be illegitimate.
Dr.
Long shared with Newsmax some of the emails and sworn affidavits she
received from Hillary supporters who witnessed first-hand the thuggish
tactics employed by Obama campaign operatives in Iowa and elsewhere.
Jeff,
a precinct captain for Clinton from Davenport, Iowa, thought his caucus
was in the bag for his candidate, until just minutes before the voting
actually began.
“From 6-6:30 pm, it appeared as I had
expected. Young, old males, females, Hispanics, whites, gay and lesbian
friends arriving. Very heavily for Ms. Clinton, a fair amount for
Edwards and some stragglers for Obama,” he said.
That makeup corresponded to what he had witnessed from many precinct walks he had made through local neighborhoods.
“My
mind began to feel victory for my lady,’ he said. “THEN: at 6:50 pm,
over 75 people of African-American descent came walking in, passed the
tables and sat in the Obama section. I knew one of them from my
canvassing. I knew another one who did not live in this precinct. And
aside from 4 or 5 families that live on Hillandale Road, there are no
other black people in this unusually white precinct. And one of those
black couples were in my Hillary section,” he said.
Thanks
to the last-minute influx of unknown Obama supporters, Obama won twice
the number of delegates from the precinct as Hillary Clinton.
After it was over, “a very large bus was seen in the parking lot afterwards carrying these folks back” to Illinois, Jeff said.
Obama’s
flagrant busing of out-of-state caucus participants from Illinois was
so obvious that even Joe Biden – today his running mate, then his rival –
pointed it out at the time.
At a campaign stop before the
Jan. 3 caucus at the JJ Diner in Des Moines, Biden “said what we were
all thinking when he got on stage and said, ‘Hello Iowa!’ and then
turned to Barack’s crowd and shouted, ‘and Hello Chicago!’” another
precinct captain for Hillary told Dr. Long.
Thanks to
Illinois campaign workers bused across the border into Iowa, all the
precincts in eastern Iowa went for Obama, guaranteeing his win in the
caucuses, Dr. Long says.
Obama supporters were also bused
into northeast Iowa from Omaha, Nebraska, where Obama campaign workers
were seen handing out “i-pods and free stuff – t-shirts, clothes, shoes,
and free meals” to students and people in homeless shelters,” according
to eyewitness reports collected by Dr. Long.
In Iowa City,
red and white chartered buses with Illinois license plates arrived from
Illinois packed with boisterous African-American high school students,
who came to caucus for Obama in Iowa after being recruited by Obama
campaign workers.
2,000 complaints in Texas
In a
change in the Democratic National Committee rules for this year’s
election season, four states had caucuses and primaries: Washington,
Nebraska, Idaho and Texas. “But Texas is the only one that counted both
the caucus result and the primary result,” Dr. Long told Newsmax. “The
others didn’t count the primary at all, calling it a ‘beauty contest.’”
Because
caucuses are more informal, and can last hours, they tend to favor
candidates with a strong ground operation or whose supporters use
strong-arm tactics to intimidate their rivals.
“There is
inherent voter disenfranchisement in the caucuses,” Dr. Long says.
“Women are less likely to go to caucuses than men, because they don’t
like the public nature of the caucus. The elderly are less likely to go
to a caucus. People who work shifts can’t go if they work the night
shift. And parents with young children can’t go out for four hours on a
week night. All these people are traditionally Clinton supporters,” she
said.
But Obama’s victories in the caucuses weren’t the result of better organization, Dr. Long insists. “It was fraud.”
In
state after state, Hillary was leading Obama in the polls right up
until the last minute, when Obama won a landslide victory in the
caucuses.
The discrepancies between the polls and the caucus
results were stunning, Dr. Long told Newsmax. The most flagrant example
was Minnesota.
A Minnesota Public Radio/Humphrey Institute
poll conducted just one week before the Feb. 5 caucus gave Hillary a
7-point lead over Obama, 40-33.
But when the Minnesota
caucus results were counted, Obama won by a landslide, with 66.39
percent to just 32.23 percent for Hillary, giving him 48 delegates, as
compared to 24 for Clinton.
“No poll is that far off,” Dr. Long told Newsmax.
Similar disparities occurred in 13 of 14 caucus states.
In
Colorado and Idaho, Obama had a two-point edge over Hillary Clinton in
the polls, but won by more than two to one in the caucuses, sweeping
most delegates.
In Kansas, Hillary had a slight edge over
Obama in the polls, but Obama won 74 percent of the votes in the caucus
and most of the delegates. In nearly every state, he bested the
pre-caucus polls by anywhere from 12 percent to more than 30 percent.
This year’s primary rules for the Democrats favored the caucus states over the primary states.
“Caucus
states made up only 1.1 million (3 percent) of all Democratic votes,
but selected 626 (15 percent) of the delegates,” says Gigi Gaston, a
filmmaker who has made a documentary on the caucus fraud.
In
Texas alone, she says, there were more than 2,000 complaints from
Hillary Clinton and John Edwards supporters of Obama’s strong-arm
tactics.
One Hillary supporter, who appears in Gaston’s new
film, “We Will Not Be Silenced,” says she received death threats from
Obama supporters after they saw her address in an on-line video she made
to document fraud during the Texas caucus. “People called me a whore
and a skank,” she said.
John Siegel, El Paso Area Captain
for Hillary, says “some people saw outright cheating. Other people just
saw strong-arm tactics. I saw fraud.”
Another woman, who was
not identified in the film, described the sign-in process. “You’re
supposed to sign your names on these sheets. The sheets are supposed to
be controlled, and passed out – this is kind of how you maintain order.
None of that was done. The sheets were just flying all over the place.
You could put in your own names. You could add your own sheets or
anything. It was just filled with fraud.”
Other witnesses
described how Obama supporters went through the crowds at the caucus
telling Hillary supporters they could go home because their votes had
been counted, when in fact no vote count had yet taken place.
“I couldn’t believe this was happening,” one woman said in the film. “I thought this only happened in Third World countries.”
On
election day in Texas, Clinton campaign lawyer Lyn Utrecht issued a
press release that was widely ignored by the national media.
“The
campaign legal hotline has been flooded with calls containing specific
accusations of irregularities and voter intimidation against the Obama
campaign,” she wrote. “This activity is undemocratic, probably illegal,
and reflects a wanton disregard for the caucus process.”
She
identified 18 separate precincts where Obama operatives had removed
voting packets before the Clinton voters could arrive, despite a written
warning from the state party not to remove them.
The
hotline also received numerous calls during the day that “the Obama
campaign has taken over caucus sites and locked the doors, excluding
Clinton campaign supporters from participating in the caucus,” she
wrote.
“There are numerous instances of Obama supporters
filing out precinct convention sign-in sheets during the day and
submitting them as completed vote totals at caucus. This is expressly
against the rules,” she added.
But no one seemed to care.
Despite
Clinton’s three-and-a-half point win in the Texas primary – 50.87
percent to 47.39 percent – Obama beat her in the caucus the same day by
56 to 43.7 percent, giving him a 38 to 29 advantage in delegates.
Dr.
Linda Hayes investigated the results at the precinct level in three
state Senate districts. Under the rules of the Texas Democratic Party,
participants in the caucuses had to reside in the precinct where they
were caucusing, and had to have voted in the Democratic primary that
same day.
When she began to see the results coming in from
the precincts that were wildly at variance with the primary results, “I
could see that something was wrong,” Hayes said.
Dr. Hayes says she found numerous anomalies as she went through the precinct sign-in sheets.
“Many,
many, many Obama people either came to the wrong precinct, they did not
sign in properly, they did not show ID, or they did not vote that day.”
And yet, their votes were counted.
In a letter to Rep. Lois
Capps, a Clinton supporter calling himself “Pacific John” described the
fraud he had witnessed during the caucuses.
“On election
night in El Paso, it became obvious that the Obama field campaign was
designed to steal caucuses. Prior to that, it was impossible for me to
imagine the level of attempted fraud and disruption we would see,” he
wrote.
“We saw stolen precincts where Obama organizers
fabricated counts, made false entries on sign-in sheets, suppressed
delegate counts, and suppressed caucus voters. We saw patterns such as
missing electronic access code sheets and precinct packets taken before
the legal time, like elsewhere in the state. Obama volunteers illegally
took convention materials state-wide, with attempts as early as 6:30
am.”
The story of how Obama stole the Democratic Party
caucuses - and consequently, the Democratic Party nomination - is
important not just because it prefigures potential voter fraud in the
November 4 presidential election, which is already under way.
It’s
important because it fits a pattern that Chicago journalists and a few
national and international commentators have noticed in all of the
elections Obama has won in his career.
NBC correspondent
Martin Fletcher described Obama’s first election victory - for Illinois
state senate – in a recent commentary that appeared in the London
Telegraph.
“Mr. Obama won a seat in the state senate in 1996
by the unorthodox means of having surrogates successfully challenge the
hundreds of nomination signatures that candidates submit. His
Democratic rivals, including Alice Palmer, the incumbent, were all
disqualified,” Fletcher wrote.
Obama’s election to the U.S.
Senate “was even more curious,” conservative columnist Tony Blankley
writes in The Washington Times.
Citing an account that
appeared in The Times of London, Blankley described how Obama managed to
squeeze out his main Democratic rival, Blair Hull, after divorce papers
revealed allegations that Hull had allegedly made a death threat to his
former wife.
Then in the general election, “lightning
struck again,” Blankley writes, when his Republican opponent, wealthy
businessman Jack Ryan, was forced to withdraw in extremis after his
divorce papers revealed details of his sexual life with his former wife.
Just weeks before the election, the Illinois Republican
party called on Alan Keyes of Maryland to challenge Obama in the general
election. Obama won a landslide victory.
“Mr. Obama’s
elections are pregnant with the implications that he has so far gamed
every office he has sought by underhanded and sordid means,” Blankley
writes, while “the American media has let these extraordinary events
simply pass without significant comment.”
Hillary Clinton supporters, belatedly, now agree.

Clinton Democrats:Is FBI Investigating Obama/ACORN for Federal Racketeering?

Clinton Democrats for McCain/Palin
Is Patrick Fitzgerald investigating ACORN / Obama for RICO violations?
Posted on October 9th, 2008 by everyvotecounts
http://hillbuzz.wordpress.com/2008/10/09/great-merciful-zeus-tomorrow-could-be-the-start-of-fitzmas-rumor-in-chicago-is-patrick-fitzgerald-is-investigating-acorn-and-soetorobama-campaign-for-rico-violations/
Great
Merciful Zeus! Tomorrow could be the start of Fitzmas: rumor in Chicago
is Patrick Fitzgerald is investigating ACORN and SoetorObama campaign
for RICO violations
Tonight we talked to someone who works in the federal courts here in Chicago.
The
buzz in those corridors is that federal prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald
has been leading a team of FBI investigators in 10 states working on a
RICO case.
Today, it was announced that ACORN is being investigated in 10 states.
That’s one Hell of a coincidence.
We
asked why Fitzgerald would be involved in this, because he’s the
prosecutor on the Tony Rezko case and we aren’t aware of ACORN being
investigated in Illinois.
We were told that ACORN was
investigated in Illinois years ago, and it was a Fitzgerald case then.
This means ACORN’s activities today, involving a conspiracy to commit
multi-state voter fraud on SoetorObama’s behalf, are an extension of
that previous ACORN case.
Our source in federal courts said, “Any
crime that involves more than two people and is carried out across
state lines qualifies as a corrupt organization. The fact that those
“Goodwill” donations were made in Texas and received at Obama
headquarters in Chicago or Washington means it qualifies for RICO.”
The
“Goodwill donations” referred to above are the $228 million in
undocumented, unverified campaign contributions the SoetorObama camp has
received — which the McCain campaigned filed a complaint to the FEC on
this past Monday.
We’ve also heard that the Clinton campaign
filed complaints to the FBI and other federal agencies over
SoetorObama’s fraud in the Iowa, Texas and other caucuses: voter
intimidation, registration fraud, and other illegal activities.
The
last thing we were told tonight in regards to all of this was that “the
meme here is a tying together of all these various threads. That’s what
you will see in the last weeks of the campaign: all things being tied
together”.
If everything rumored here is true, it looks like
David Axelrod, Howard Dean, Donna Brazile, SoetorObama himself, and
possibly even Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid were all involved, together,
in massive RICO violations, and thus federal fraud, if the DNC and party
leadership knew what the SoetorObama campaign and ACORN were up to and
allowed it to proceed. Knowledge of federal crimes being committed makes
all parties accessories to those crimes — and part of the conspiracy to
defraud the public.
THAT would certainly be one Hell of a shock tomorrow morning [https://fredmartinez.blogspot.com/2008/10/clinton-democratsis-fbi-investigating.html]
Pray an Our Father now for the restoration of the Church as well as for the Triumph of the Kingdom of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate of Mary.
