EXCLUSIVE: ACORN’s Project Vote is dead: If you hate voter fraud, you should be happy

I’ve been so busy covering the leftist uprising in the country that I just noticed that Project Vote announced it was shutting its doors on May 31 of this year. Project Vote, the voter mobilization division of now-defunct ACORN, leaves behind a legacy … Continue reading EXCLUSIVE: ACORN’s Project Vote is dead: If you hate voter fraud, you should be happy

ACORN unit Project Vote represents PA ACORN offshoot in lawsuit

Project Vote, the branch of ACORN that President Obama used to work for, filed suit against Pennsylvania claiming the Keystone State isn’t doing enough to help welfare recipients vote themselves greater taxpayer-funded benefits.  (View the complaint here.) Not surprisingly Project Vote is acting for Action United, a rebranded state chapter from the old ACORN network of activist groups.  Action United is a business name for Pennsylvania Communities Organizing for Change Inc. (PCOC).  PCOC is run by the same old Pennsylvania ACORN activists and its headquarters is in the same office as the old Philadelphia branch of ACORN. I warned in … Continue reading ACORN unit Project Vote represents PA ACORN offshoot in lawsuit

ACORN constitutional challenge of Nevada law pending

ACORN executive Amy Adele Busefink, convicted of a variety of voter fraud, is appealing her conviction.  Oral arguments were heard last month by the Nevada Supreme Court. ACORN affiliate Project Vote filed a friend of the court brief in favor of Busefink. Busefink’s brief may be found here.  The State of Nevada’s brief is available here. Busefink is challenging Nevada’s voter registration laws on constitutional grounds.   It seems like a dubious appeal but who knows what the court will do.

ACORN Visits Obama White House

Leaders of the resurrected radical group ACORN are lobbying the Obama administration in what appears to be a concerted effort to game the electoral system to help Democrats, new evidence suggests. As I write in today’s American Spectator, at least five Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now leaders have visited the White House this year alone. One of those ACORN officials, Estelle Rogers of Project Vote (shown in photo above), has been involved in vetting Department of Justice hires who may help to enforce the voter fraud-enabling National Voting Rights Act (NVRA), also known as the Motor-Voter law. The Department has … Continue reading ACORN Visits Obama White House

ACORN Sprouting Fresh Branches

As the remnants of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now regroup in order to bring chaos to the 2012 election cycle, ACORN’s renamed New York chapter is teeming with activity. The successor organization, called New York Communities for Change (NYCC), operates out of the same office on Nevins Street in Brooklyn that is home to ACORN and its partisan arm, the socialist Working Families Party of New York. Longtime ACORN leader Jon Kest is executive director of NYCC.  Kest is the brother of Steve Kest, former executive director of ACORN, who has joined fellow radical community organizer Van … Continue reading ACORN Sprouting Fresh Branches
