White House/DOJ Working with ACORN, Massive Voter Registration Fraud
by Tom FittonWith the 2012 elections just months away, the ACORN-connected group Project Vote (and Obama campaign ally) is redoubling its efforts to undermine the integrity of the 2012 elections – and they are evidently doing it with the participation of the Obama White House and the Department of Justice (DOJ).
In January, Judicial Watch obtained additional documents about meetings held between Estelle Rogers, Director of Advocacy for the ACORN organization Project Vote, and officials from the Obama White House and the DOJ.
Judicial Watch is investigating the extent to which Project Vote, which once employed Barack Obama, has been working with the Obama administration to use voter registration laws to register greater numbers of low-income voters, widely considered to be an important voting demographic for the Obama presidential campaign.
Judicial Watch was already well aware that the DOJ was heavily involved in this scheme based on documents previously obtained, but the latest batch of records implicates the Obama White House directly!
According to the records, obtained by Judicial Watch in response to a FOIA lawsuit filed on August 19, 2011:
- On April 27, 2009, Estelle Rogers wrote to Deputy Assistant Attorney General Sam Hirsh regarding an upcoming meeting on April 30, 2009. In addition to Rogers and Hirsh, other attendees included: Nicole Kovite, Director of Public Agency Project for Project Vote; Spencer Overton, Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the Office of Legal Policy; and two officials from the Obama White House: Celia Muñoz, then-Director of Intergovernmental Affairs and recently promoted to Director of the Domestic Policy Council; and Tino Cuellar, Special Assistant to the President for Justice and Regulatory Policy. (Muñoz, you will recall, is the former senior vice-president of the National Council of La Raza who has been funneling tax dollars to radical Mexican separatists ever since she joined the Obama White House.)In her email, Rogers referenced documents she forwarded in preparation for the upcoming meeting on the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA), to which Hirsch replies that he looked forward to “reading these materials” and to “seeing everyone on Thursday.”
- On February 23, 2011, Rogers wrote to Associate Deputy Attorney General Robert Weiner, asking him to “make some headway with Attorney General [Eric] Holder in enforcing Section 7 of the NVRA.” The email notes that the DOJ had not yet filed any Section 7 lawsuits, which Rogers dubbed “deeply disappointing.” The first such DOJ lawsuit (against Rhode Island) was filed on March 18, 2011, less than one month later. Of particular note, is Rogers’ comment that “We have received oral assurances from [Assistant Attorney General Thomas] Perez on several occasions that enforcement action was imminent,” suggesting that Rogers was privy to internal discussions inside the DOJ regarding pending legal action.
- On March 29, 2011, Rogers wrote to Associate Attorney General [Thomas] Perrelli, urging him to review and “make improvements” to a document she was sending following another meeting held on March 17, 2011, between Project Vote and the DOJ on Section 7 compliance with the NRVA. Accompanying the document was a previous letter she had sent to the Civil Rights Division plus “additional comments on the Q and A.”
These documents raise fundamental questions about the politicization of the DOJ under Eric Holder and demonstrate that the ACORN-connected Project Vote is throwing its weight around the DOJ and driving the agency’s voting rights agenda.
And, evidently the Obama White House is now directly implicated in this growing scandal. It is now clear that Project Vote and the Obama/Holder DOJ are conspiring to file DOJ lawsuits to help re-elect Barack Obama. This collusion between Project Vote and the Obama administration is a significant threat to the integrity of the 2012 elections.
To have Project Vote involved in DOJ voting rights enforcement is like having the Mafia run the FBI! And Estelle Rogers is one of Project Vote’s key “bosses.”
As Director of Advocacy for Project Vote, Estelle Rogers ‒ a former attorney for ACORN, which was besieged with charges of corruption before declaring bankruptcy in November 2010 ‒ is a primary contact person on policy matters at Project Vote at both the state and federal levels and has been actively involved in voter registration issues. Using the threat of a lawsuit under the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA), Project Vote has aggressively sought to manipulate voter registration laws in various states in an effort to increase the registration of people receiving public assistance.
On August 4, 2011, Judicial Watch released documents obtained from the Colorado Department of State showing that ACORN and Project Vote successfully pressured Colorado officials into implementing new policies for increasing the registration of public assistance recipients during the 2008 and 2010 election seasons. Following the policy changes, the percentage of invalid voter registration forms from Colorado public assistance agencies was four times the national average. Project Vote also sought a “legislative fix” to allow people without a driver’s license or state identification to register to vote online.
In addition to pursuing public agency registration cases in Missouri, Ohio, Indiana, Georgia and New Mexico, Project Vote and the NAACP filed a lawsuit on April 19, 2011, against the State of Louisiana alleging violations of the NVRA. Less than three months later, on July 12, the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division/Voting Section sued Louisiana on the same grounds, claiming that “Louisiana officials have not routinely offered voter registration forms, assistance and services to the state’s eligible citizens who apply, recertify or provide a change address for public assistance or disability services.”
The DOJ’s March 11, 2011, lawsuit against Rhode Island led to policy changes intended to increase the number of voter registration applications processed by “public assistance and disability service officers.” These two lawsuits, filed within five months of each other, are the first such lawsuits filed by the DOJ since 2007.
Project Vote and ACORN have both been linked to massive voter registration fraud. A total of 70 ACORN employees in 12 states have been convicted of voter registration fraud. And as documented in a July 2009 report by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, of the 1.3 million registrations Project Vote/ACORN submitted in the 2008 election cycle, more than one-third were invalid. (And don’t believe the line that ACORN is dead. As we documented in our special report “The Rebranding of ACORN,” the corrupt organization is alive and well and ready to wreak havoc in the 2012 elections.)
A storm is fast approaching in 2012. The integrity of our elections is under attack by ACORN and Project Vote. And it now appears that the Obama administration is complicit in a plot by these community organizations to steal the elections. Trust Judicial Watch to do what it can to uphold the rule of law against this very real challenge to our election system.

If we in fact know this… I don't think "Judicial Watch" will be enough to stem the tide….. Where the heck in Congress?
nothing new here…
Holder's DOJ, which he has shamelessly politicized himself (he called NOT prosecuting the baton wielding thugs at a Philadelphia voting site 'Not going after MY people') and the Project Vote/ACORN organization of which Obama is thiscloseto are gearing up for voting fraud on a massive scale.
They will, of course, frame this as a racial/class issue where lawabiding citizens are trying to 'disenfranchise' the poor and indigent. Balderdash. This is cheating, plain and simple- they have NO problem with 'disenfranchising' the military absentee ballots because they don't like the outcome of those. And they know Obama has only one shot at re-election; which is to demonize the GOP opponent and flood the polls with illegals, criminals and dead people.
In other words, a typical Democrat election ploy…
“The ends justify the means.” We must understand that we’re dealing with ‘60s radicals and their spawn, law and order mean nothing to these people. Liberals represent a distinct minority of the American voting block 18-22%. They must lie, cheat, and steal to win. Keep up the good work Tom, bright lights shinning on the corruption is the best disinfectant.
" the Obama administration is complicit in a plot by these community organizations to steal the elections."
They are concentrating on the poor.
Too bad that the poor will never figure out that democrats have to keep them poor and create more poverty in order to be elected.
If the tide of discontent is strong enough, no amount of fraud will keep Obama in the White House. That’s a numerical fact. That is why the enthusiasm for the Republican nominee matters so much, even if the Republican Establishment is too ignorant to understand that.
We all knew this was coming,
Fraud is the only possible way Nobama can win. Congress better have the back bone to stand up to these criminals.
One obvious answer would be to exclude anyone receiving welfare or food stamps from the voter
roles.. Seems to be a major conflict of interest…
Like Congress voting themselves raises every 2 years..
Holder is a scumbag, political hack, in an honest world he would wind up in prison for all the laws he has broken or twisted to suit his needs. In this world he'll walk away with a huge govenment pension, and Obama's gratitude.
It would'nt surprise me to see blue helmets guarding the polls…..
Millions of fraudulent votes coming to a precinct near you.
Last i saw listening to the president
Project
VoteFraud is one of their methods, and if that doesn't work, EMP's, War, or collapsing our economy will be the back-up plan.Voter fraud takes many forms
Gerrymandering is legal voter fraud
I plan to be guarding the guards at my polling place. Nothing like a new HD camcorder.
Wonder if this is what Pelosi knows and almost let the cat out of her hag bag early. The exact context of the statement she made does not specify that her knowledge is limited directly to Gingrich.
"Let me just say this. That will never happen," she told CNN Tuesday night when asked about the possibility of a President Gingrich. "He's not going to be President of the United States… Let me just make my prediction and stand by it, it isn't going to happen.
"There is something I know. The Republicans, if they choose to nominate him that's their prerogative. I don't even think that's going to happen."
there isn't much that would surprise you.
Some are prepared for any eventuality; that would fit your brand. Others will go blithely forth, 'hoping for hope and waiting for change'. These would be anyone who listened to that blather last night and saw a benevolent leader.
Actually, the trouble with UN poll watching would be lack of control for the DOJ. They would prefer, say, SEIU or the New Black Panthers. But the blue helmets would do…
We must turn out in huge numbers to vote Obama out to overcome George Washington and Tom Jefferson from voting at 100 polling places. And then there is absentee voting.
Congress defunded ACORN, but they are bigger now than before. The will of the people is being ignored once again. If Obama wins this election it will only be by fraud, and if that happens you can expect a civil war.
It's time to clean up our election process. There is one simple way to accomplish this. Take the money out of the game. With all of the media outlets we have that will willingly allow these people time to talk and debate there is no need for massive campaign funds. The media will gladly do it for free. Let them all have a few months to speak on TV, and then have a national primary that would pick up to 3 candidates per party. Then when the election happens the one with the most votes wins, which would eliminate our screwed up electoral college. This would allow ANYONE to run for office, without the need for huge sums of cash.
We MUST start fixing things if we are going to survive as a nation!
SURPRISE
SURPRISE
SURPRISE !
The Chicago Way: VOTE EARLY AND OFTEN.
The Democrat party is turning our country into a Thugocracy.
In California, the Demo-Thugs have drawn a small "blue" circle around San Francisco and Los Angeles. The rest of the state is red blooded Conservative. Every insane Leftist idea is forced onto the citizens of this state, and media reports how popular these policies are. Example: Gov. Moonbeam proposes raising our taxes. Already one of the highes taxed states, people and businesses leaving in droves. Media reports: "Tax increases popular in California" .http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-01-25/brown-plan-wins-favor-from-most-californians.html
When the country is 80% very conservative, to conservative, and you're a DEMORAT, the only way to win is by FRAUD.
More crime you commit the closer you get to the cuffs. Matter of time before it implodes.
dept of injustice IMPEACH obozzo
The only shots, I'll be ready to take, will be through a .45 inch aperature….
Eric Holder- Voter Registration Czar.
I believe that Holder wouldn't have a problem defering to UN control of our elections…
Attacking manipulation
I am rebel against the manipulators(republican and democrat parties) of our republic. I don't attack our form of government. We are not a two party political system. Political parties are private entities. The republicans and democrats have committed a coup of our government through manipulation(gerrymandering) of the peoples voting districts and other election practices and laws.
Sounds similar to that statement pig-losi made about oCare.
"We have to pass the bill before we can find out what's in the bill". WTH???
.
It caught my attention last night…. advocating for a military state maybe?
"These achievements are a testament to the courage, selflessness, and teamwork of America's Armed Forces. At a time when too many of our institutions have let us down, they exceed all expectations. They're not consumed with personal ambition. They don't obsess over their differences. They focus on the mission at hand. They work together.
Imagine what we could accomplish if we followed their example."
And the Boehner remains the flacid do-nothing he is. Limp wristed accessory to fraud.
he would prefer the Panthers.
But would have no real problem with the UN; it would also 'introduce' the blue helmets to the populace so they won't look so out of place aiding in the Agenda 21 programs.
Not sure the US public would like it much, though…
he envisions DHS and TSA as those 'examples'…
In FL 480K requested voter registration. 280K submitted absentee ballots=200,000 fake voters. Keep an eye on fraud there.
Folks, the only way to stop this is to get active in your community. The DOJ is in on the deal. Here is how. Go to http://www.truethevote.org and learn how to remove criminal voter fraud from voter rolls in your county. Do it soon. In Houston this organization worked to remove thousands of fake 'voters' and has taught folks in 50 states how to do it free.
As our population grows our voice grows nill.
Double or triple the house representives and the peoples voice grows stronger and the a politician can't afford not to listen to the people.
She will do absolutley anything that she thinks she can get away with to get back in the Speakers seat. It is apparent that it is eating her up inside and spilling out of her colostomy bag to get back in that chair.
Everytime I see her… I wonder just how much more pressure that her face can take from that smile before it shatters.
And how many of those "absentee voters" don't even KNOW they registered absentee and will show up and vote on election day????
Thank God, we just got Voter I.D. here in WI.
I pity the first fool to take a round through his….
As our population grows and the number of our house represenatives remains the same our voice will become nill.
Gerrymandering
Honest, just, and equitable representation. Must be the goal of our republic or it is only a corporate counterfeit where liberty and justice is only for those who can pay the extortion.
Our service members die and are maimed in the name of our republic, but do they die for a myth, or a stolen promise?
It is the parties that have stolen our freedom through gerrymandering, closed primary system at tax payer expense, party identification on our registration and ballot and other laws to numerous too count.
It is the illusion of a two party system that has silenced the voice of the people in fact it is a one party rule on the district level. This one party system enslaves the voter and excludes and alienates a vast segments of our population that they no longer feel that participation in the system amounts to representation. This system of gerrymandering has so perverted the election process that this is not government of representation of the people but of those who benefit from the government.
This is what Nancy (loose lips sink ships) Pelosi is trying to tell America. If Newt is the GOP nominee, the Voter Fraud Machine will be well oiled. Mitt will not feel the machine, he is one of them. http://www.breitbart.tv/pelosi-theres-something-i...
Some were asleep, others uninterested and the rest busy checking their twitter accounts.
Affirmative action gone very wrong on a country-wide scale!
Congress and backbone don't belong in the same sentence unless you're describing the lack thereof….
What integrity??
When we don't ask for ID, what's the point of voting?
That's what happens when you have a CORRUPT department of INJUSTICE! Our INCOMP AG has the blessing of the anointed one. I hope the GOP wins the House, Senate, and Presidency so we can put these CORRUPT POS in jail. Where they belong!
The only thing missing from that interview was the crystal ball, the caldron and the broomstick. But I'm sure it was very close by.
the natives are restless now.
TPTB know this. UN presence here would be met harshly…
Got something better,I'd love to hear it. Popular vote? I live in a state that has 5 major cities whose populations are in total bigger,population wise, that the rest of the state.We all know that metro cities are overwhelmingly (there are a few exceptions) Democrat, you think I want a Democrat protecting my interest? I live in one of three counties in the country that have no deficit and haven't had a property tax raise in over ten years, I sure as h8ll don't want the big cities coming after my pocketbook to make up for their shortcomings.
Stick around your polling place after you voted. Just to make sure the same faces don't return over & over again…
Don't forget….
"Members of the DoD Civilian Expeditionary Workforce shall be organized, trained, cleared, equipped, and ready to deploy in support of combat operations by the military; contingencies; emergency operations; humanitarian missions; disaster relief; restoration of order; drug interdiction; and stability operations of the Department of Defense in accordance with DoDD 3000.05…"
That would only serve to make matters worse because a majority would be even harder to accomplish. Nothing would get done, which may not be a bad thing because I would rather have a whole lot of nothing over what we are getting now.
My polling place is run by old conservative veterans wearing American flag pins.
We don't tolerate that kind of crap around here.
"And then there is absentee voting. "
There should be a law that tracks every absentee ballot printed, if a person requests an absentee ballot he/she would be required to turn it in to the secretary of state's office, not poll workers . Used or not.
Sorry…. Dictators do not fall under the jurisdiction of impeachment laws.
It is quite the racket here. The newspaper actually reports who ordered absentee ballots-great Democrat trick.
Then folks show up at their house within 48 hours to 'help'. The ballots are picked up and bundled and sold to the highest bidding candidate in Dallas County. You cannot make this up.
This is why the republicans hold their first 3 primaries in states that allow all parties to vote. It's much simpler to cheat in those states.
WE NEED A NATIONAL PRIMARY!
We have become no more honorable in our elections than any other decrepit third world dictatorship.
We just completed a Census. We have a general idea just HOW MANY people we have here in America, we also know via SS# how many American citizens we have. We know how many individual home residences including apts, and condos we have and what districts they are in. We know how many near 18 year old "new potential" voters we have….. NUMBERS and statistics matter… they tell the story, they also verify fraud. This is exactly what we mean when we say that laws and regulations don't guarantee a pure vote. Is it a good idea to have UNION government workers running our elections?
Project Vote…….. sounds good…. yet fraught with corruption and chicanery. We all applauded the masterful outing of ACORN… only to realized that even while caught red handed….. we saw little to no response by our elected leadership to cut the head off of the beast and starve it's babies in the nest.
Expect the worst and hope for the best.
In this case there is nothing he can do. This is a local problem and that is what community organizers do, on taxpayer dollars. Only active citizens on their own free time can volunteer and stop this at the precinct level. Nothing Boehner says or does will change the American citizen's responsibility. Many cases of voter fraud, the actual registrations, were hand delivered to the State of Texas top elected officials. They were unable to do a thing. Before this regime we could count on the DOJ to do something. Now DOJ is in on the fraud as long as it doesn't impact minorities they have said they don't care.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that. Freaked me the hell out! He'll have us all goose-stepping like a bunch of North Koreans if we're not careful.
His entire speech had the reeking stench of central planning about it.
That would suit their aims….
Blowback would give them the excuse they need to take the next step….
'Civilian Expeditionary Workforce'.
Now THAT is not a good thing. The National Guard should provide that service but THEY take an oath to defend the Constitution against all foes both foreign AND domestic.
Civilians don't.
Not good…
Restoration of order….
That says it all….
true.
But they want a guaranteed outcome, and blowback might prove costly to them.
Their biggest weakness is the 'guaranteed outcome' thing; it's why they haven't moved.
Yet…
Easy solution here. A voter registration card should be issued at birth and held in trust, much like a lock box, by a newly created Federal Agency — The Voter Board– until the time of voting age. There would also be a voluntary proxy card that could be signed, if it is just too much trouble for the voter to get to the polling place. No voter picture ID need be required, so as not to be racist.
Exactly… And notice it does not specify domestic or foreign deployment. Where would you deploy a civilian force… especially if they are already deployed where you want them?
He can open his mouth and say something. Give me a break. It's called taking a stand for something. Ever heard of it?
point taken
How about a Drivers License… I shutter at the creation of another Government Agency…….
Marine's career threatened by controversial rules of engagement By: Sara A. Carter | 01/23/12 8:05 PM
http://washingtonexaminer.com/news/world/2012/01/...
That's why they need the right 'crisis' as a force multiplier….
BTW, I picked-up yet another permutation of 'The Art of War'. This one by Gary Gagliardi….
it certainly isn't going to be a foreign deployment.
No these are the 'FEMA helpers' for when disaster strikes. Whether that disaster is natural or man made doesn't matter much; somebody would have to hustle those bodies onto rail cars for their ultimate fate. And if you add in the reduction in military forces planned, well a LOT of Sandbox veterans without work but with skills TPTB need will find gainful employ here as well.
Almost like it was planned…
Progressives ARE central planners; it's what they are all about.
Rugged individualism is their sworn enemy. Woodrow Wilson said so in 1879…
Didn't Obama say something last night about everyone playing by the rules? The DoJ plays by their own rules and makes them up as they go along. Obama's SOTU speech was just recycled speeches with more empty words. All a facade to hide the destruction of America. Obama's adoring media is in on the scam. Shameful.
worth reading, then?
What other than Clausewitz's take is different? Modern applications?
So what are we going to do about this? I hear this type of thing all the time and yet no one does anything!!!! Where is Congress? Where is the Judiciary? Where are the checks and balances? This is blatant, it is in your face! Where are the articles of impeachment? Where's the ANGER???? What are WE going to do about this? This is how democracies turn into dictatorships. If Obama/Holder manage to game the system and he's elected for another term will they then change the rules that he's President for life? No one wants to talk impeachment of either of these clowns because they don't want to be labeled racist. Which would you rather be politicians, labelled a racist or living in a gulag? Your choice. God help this country!
Yes, it includes a 'Strategy against Terror'….'Ancient wisdom for Today's War'…
He'll have a lot of disillusioned and disaffected veterans to recruit….
Yes, almost as if it were planned….
there seems to be several publications by Mr Gagliardi, is there one tome that has all of them?
The least represented minority group…..the individual….
not sure…
It was something the nestmate found for me…
all trained on first person shooter games as kids, too.
A spook once told us those games were a DoD plant to inculcate the youth against moral conflict in killing. The gamers here get pissed about this- but we can't say the man was wrong…
like herding cats, it's been said…
looks like four books.
Will check it out…
The right wing in this country is not really afraid of voter fraud. But they are terrified of votes… at least those cast by the young, old, crippled, poor and working poor. Not too crazy about black or Hispanic American votes either.
So they work hard to limit early voting, absentee ballots and voter registration drives. When we call you out on your efforts to disenfranchise whole segments of American voters you cry fraud. You can't prove that it has ever been a problem in the past 25 years, but you just "feel" like you are being cheated.
Whatever happened to the good old days when you could just send the klan to visit people you didn't want to see at the polls?
I've got the original Sun Tzu translation by Ralph Sawyer and most of Sawyer's other books….
Funny, that…
One of my clients was a company that designed those games…
an independent lot….
Self interest always comes first…
Indeed. We must all vote early, and often. The side which tiers first looses. So choose your aliases & addresses and get busy registering.
The lunatic-left d-cRAT socialists absolutely, positively need and want MASSIVE VOTER FRAUD to get their clowns into office – especially their chief clown OBOZO – and they don't even care who commits the fraud: ACORN, unions, dead people, ILLEGALS, convicted felons, destitute people who will vote-for-cash-or-booze, etc. The socialists are particularly focused on states that do not protect the right to vote with a voter ID requirement and/or have same day registration, as that makes it extremely easy for them to commit massive fraud at the polls and distort the results in their favor. These d-cRAT losers realize than no sane American will be duped again by their lies, failed policies and radical anti-American ideology, and in Nov 2012 American citizens will vote to remove each and every one of the d-cRAT socialist extremists that have worked to destroy our economy and our country.
actually we've heard it from more than one source, and one was from your old pals at DARPA…
And all farmers who receive ag support payments. And all oil company employees. And all highway construction employees
Double edged sword there.I've read the novel "The Camp of the Saints" and fully understand.
It was a consulting gig…
(and a little more is revealed)
Same here,at a big Baptist church,down in the woods.Now,at the "urban" zone about 20 miles south,the polling place is a planned parenthood office,I kid you not!
Guess those disenfranchised never have to serve jury duty right? Got to have ID for that. You're a fool. And a liar. You serve no one but yourself. Pathetic.
d, read on another site the RNC has drafted a resolution to expose Agenda 21. As I understand, it is destined for the RNC Convention in August '12 and added as part of the platform…..
Your thoughts please……
If you actually WORK in the private sector, and your employer
takes standard tax deductions, you get to vote but only once..
just sharing what we've heard from credible sources…
the Tea Party- and particularly the libertarians because of the resilience of Dr Paul- are going to force things on the GOP plank. This is no surprise; it's just people are awakening from a deep, media/drug induced slumbert to realize their basic freedoms are threatened.
Just wait to see what ELSE will be added- our belief is Paul will NOT run 3rd party but will stay in the hunt to get enough delegates from the caucus states to force adoption of libertarian principles. This would be the most patriotic thing Ron Paul has ever done, and it's what we expect from a patriot…
That is a ridiculous statement. Gerrymandering is a political process managed by the party in power, but it is not "legal voter fraud". First of all, voter fraud deals with votes….gerrymandering deals with creating districts. Second, there is no better way to draw district lines (at least not yet there isn't). "Non-partisan" commissions are full of partisans who claim not to be. Judges are usually appointed by partisans and are mostly partisans themselves.
What other way is there to draw new district lines?
