They argue that they do it for money – apparently ACORN pays a
fee per signature. Which gives whole new meaning to the Chicago-way expression
“pay for play”

"and
that padding the voter registration rolls with fake voters doesn’t matter
anyway" <--- Great argument! If doesn't really matter then why do
it? Seems like a pretty big risk to take just because it doesn't matter.

Thanks
Kirsten. If you ever read left-of-center websites (I force myself to read
TalkingPointsMemo, a little, every day), you will see that they often put scare
quotes around the words voter fraud, as if this is just another right-wing
fantasy. They also contend that prosecuting voter fraud is tantamount to
voter suppression and intimidation, and that padding the voter registration
rolls with fake voters doesn’t matter anyway because simply registering as a
fake voter doesn’t translate into actual fake votes (as if questionable
absentee ballots haven’t decided actual races, or that it’s impossible for
someone to show up at a polling place, pretend to be a fake voter, get a ballot
and vote).
I
know, it’s hard to believe anyone would just laugh off or try to explain away
voter fraud, but that’s what they do….and stories like this show this is a real
problem, and the people who engage in it are flat-out criminal. Thank God
AG Van Hollen is taking this seriously and (hopefully) getting these crooks
thrown in the slammer.

Well,
my guess is that the people who told them that this sort of behavior was
acceptable are still running around, paying no price whatsoever. But at least
this sends a message that people are watching.

FORMER ACORN WORKER FOUND GUILTY OF ELECTION FRAUD
MILWAUKEE
– Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen announced today that Maria Miles, a
former ACORN worker, pleaded guilty to and was convicted of one count of
election fraud – falsely procuring voter registration, arising out of the
November 4, 2008, Presidential Election. Miles was charged by the
Election Fraud Task Force, a collaborative effort between
the Wisconsin Department of Justice, the Milwaukee District Attorney’s Office
and the Milwaukee Police Department.
According
to the criminal complaint, Miles served as a Special Registration Deputy
(“SRD”) for the City of Milwaukee in advance of the 2008 Presidential Election
and worked for the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now
(“ACORN”). By entering a plea of guilty today, Miles admitted to
submitting multiple voter registration applications for the same individuals,
and also being part of a scheme in which she and other SRDs registered each
other to vote multiple times in order to meet voter registration quotas imposed
by ACORN.
Miles
is charged in the same complaint as Kevin Clancy, also a former ACORN
worker. Clancy’s case is scheduled for a guilty plea hearing on September
22, 2010, at 8:30 a.m.
The
charge against Miles, a Class I felony, carries a potential penalty of
imprisonment up to 3 ½ years and a $10,000 fine. She is scheduled to be
sentenced on October 15, 2010, at 8:30 a.m. before Judge Richard Sankovitz.
Prior
to the November 2008 election, Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen and Milwaukee County
District Attorney John Chisholm announced the creation of the Election Fraud
Task Force, a multi-jurisdictional action team that evaluates, investigates and
prosecutes complaints of electoral fraud. The Wisconsin Department of
Justice and the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office work cooperatively
with local law enforcement and the Milwaukee Police Department as needed when
investigation is required.
Assistant
Attorney General David W. Maas is representing the State.
