Not only are there numerous reports of fraudulent voter registration cards being turned in in Milwaukee. But, the radical group ACORN, which has ties to Barack Obama, is illegally using former felons as part of their voter registration drive.

So far this year, Milwaukee election officials have referred to the Milwaukee County district attorney’s office 49 cases of people who submitted potentially fraudulent registration cards. In some cases, the groups flagged the problems for the city.

On Monday, a 21-year-old Community Voters Project worker became the first person charged with voter fraud in the matter. Authorities say they expect more charges, but note that charges will not be filed in all cases cited by the city.

This week, the Associated Press reported that ACORN had hired as voter registration workers in Milwaukee at least seven felons convicted of crimes including cocaine possession and robbery.

Carolyn Castore, state political director for the group, told the AP: “We have a lot of folks with felony records and, frankly, they need jobs.”

The staff of the state Government Accountability Board issued an opinion April 3 that convicted felons are not allowed to serve as registration workers.

Milwaukee, for many years, has been tirelessly working to give Chicago a run for it’s money as far as election fraud goes. I suspect they’re getting closer and closer as the years go by. This won’t be the last allegation of fraud coming out of Milwaukee this election season, I can promise you that.
