Beltway Snark

Not that I think anyone needs a smoking gun here (haven’t we had enough of them already?) but two men in Ohio have given sworn statements detailing how ACORN approached them and had them fill out dozens of voter registrations cards. And yes, one of the men is the infamous guy who filled out 72 voter registration cards.

Cuyahoga board of elections members learned recently that many ACORN canvassers had quotas and often had to scramble to meet them. Board employees had flagged a number of registration cards handed in by ACORN that showed the same names, but with different addresses or birth dates.

After testifying, both men were led to a private office and were interviewed by Cuyahoga County sheriff’s deputies. The board decided during its meeting that it would turn over the ACORN investigation to the sheriff and county prosecutor’s office.

A sheriff’s deputy said neither Johnson nor Barkley have been charged with a crime, but could be used as witnesses later.

There’s also video at the story link from a local news station who covered the hearing.

We also might be getting some RICO action out of this too. Sweet.

And out of fairness, McCain has had common cause with ACORN in regards to amnesty. Speaking at a rally co-hosted by ACORN is nowhere even close to being in the same ballpark as paying ACORN $800K to hold voter registration drives though.
