Florida Vote Fraud via ACORN?
Via the St. Petersburg Times
About a week after Jean Schuh got a phone call from ACORN, Charles Schuh received a letter from the Pinellas County Supervisor of Elections Office saying it had received his application form "as part of a voter registration drive" and that the form was sent in too late to allow him to vote in the Aug. 31 primary.
As Charles Schuh later put it, "They picked the wrong person to mess with."
A St. Petersburg attorney, Schuh served six years on the City Council and was the city's mayor from 1975-77. Schuh tried unsuccessfully to contact ACORN, and then took the letter and his voter registration card to the supervisor of elections.
He was shown the ACORN application form. Much of the information was wrong.
"And that was certainly not my signature," Schuh said. "I told them it was a blatant case of voter fraud and forgery, and someone ought to be taken to task for that."
Thankfully, ACORN activistists were slothful:
More than 2,500 Pinellas County residents and another 1,500 Hillsborough residents who thought they had registered for the Aug. 31 primary were notified they couldn't vote because the groups that helped them register failed to turn in their applications on time.
The majority of the late registration forms, including more than 2,100 in Pinellas, came from ACORN.
Similar voter registration problems involving ACORN were reported this year in Fort Lauderdale, New Mexico, Colorado, Ohio and Illinois.
What we won't know, until it is too late, is how many of the fake ACORN registratns will seek provisional ballots on Election Day?
