Voter Fraud in Missouri

Jefferson City - Voter fraud is, sadly, not a new thing in Missouri. Here, the dead have voted, a canine has registered, and the credibility of the process has been undermined. For the third election cycle, in Missouri, an ACORN employee has been indicted on federal voter fraud charges. According to the indictment, between June and August 2008, an ACORN employee submitted voter registration cards that were either false or forged.

“ACORN and its Democrat supporters have a great deal of explaining to do to Missouri voters. While ACORN continues to submit hundreds of fraudulent voter registrations in our state so that people can cheat on Election Day, high profile Democrats in Missouri like Claire McCaskill and Robin Carnahan downplay the seriousness of this illegal activity. It’s time for the Democrats to express some outrage over the continued and systematic election fraud that taxpayer funded ACORN perpetrates in our state every two years,” said Tina Hervey, communications director, Missouri Republican Party.

“This indictment should once again be a wake-up call. The pattern of fraudulent activity by ACORN cannot be ignored any longer – Robin Carnahan’s number one priority should be to protect the integrity of Missouri elections from future assaults by cleaning up the voter registrations rolls and joining the call for voter IDs,” said Hervey.
