From the NY Post:

CLEVELAND - A man at the center of a voter-registration scandal told The Post yesterday he was given cash and cigarettes by aggressive ACORN activists in exchange for registering an astonishing 72 times, in apparent violation of Ohio laws.

“Sometimes, they come up and bribe me with a cigarette, or they’ll give me a dollar to sign up,” said Freddie Johnson, 19, who filled out 72 separate voter-registration cards over an 18-month period at the behest of the left-leaning Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now.

“The ACORN people are everywhere, looking to sign people up. I tell them I am already registered. The girl said, ‘You are?’ I say, ‘Yup,’ and then they say, ‘Can you just sign up again?’ “ he said.

Johnson used the same information on all of his registration cards, and officials say they usually catch and toss out duplicate registrations. But the practice sparks fear that some multiple registrants could provide different information and vote more than once by absentee ballot.

ACORN is under investigation in Ohio and at least eight other states - including Missouri, where the FBI said it’s planning to look into potential voter fraud - for over-the-top efforts to get as many names as possible on the voter rolls regardless of whether a person is registered or eligible.

It’s even under investigation in Bridgeport, Conn., for allegedly registering a 7-year-old girl to vote, according to the State Elections Enforcement Commission.

As pointed out, worked with, and for ACORN.  He trained ACORN’s personnel, funneled money to ACORN from both the Woods Foundation and the Chicago-Annenberg Challenge.  In both cases, with the assistance and presumed approval of Bill Ayers.  His current presidential campaign has admitted it fraudulently passed over $830,000 to an ACORN front group for so-called “advance work.”

It is about time federal officials, at least those with the “stones” to do their job, initiated RICO prosecutions against ACORN and its personnel, nationwide.  Subverting the national electoral system on a wholesale, cross-country basis is at least as serious to our country’s interest as anything the Gambino family ever attempted
