From AP RALEIGH, N.C. - The State Board of Elections so far has found 135 bogus voter registration forms submitted by a community organizing group.
The elections board is checking suspicious voter registration forms handed in by canvassers working for ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now.
ACORN works to register low-income people as voters.
Gary Bartlett, the elections board director, gave a preliminary count of the fakes: 104 from Durham, 30 from Wake and one from Mecklenburg.
The investigation is not yet complete.
“We’re still processing voter registration applications,” Bartlett said.
ACORN cooperated with the investigation.
Since 2007, ACORN claims to have registered 1.3 million people nationwide, including nearly 28,000 in North Carolina.
The group checks all the completed forms its canvassers return and flags all the questionable applications.
By law, the organization must give all forms to the elections boards, even the suspicious ones.
Falsified registration forms do not lead to voter fraud, elections officials said. Names that do not have accurate information don’t make it on to the voter rolls. People who fill out multiple registration forms appear only once on the voter list.

Of course the extreme Reich wing are desperately trying to make the bogus claim that this is “voter fraud” when nothing could be further from the truth.
As this article correctly states, ACORN themselves tagged & flagged these forms but are still required by law to send them in.
So in reality out of well over 1 MILLION registrations exactly zero “fraudulent” ones are able to vote.
Voter fraud is of ZERO concern anyway, it would be impossible for 100s of 1000s of people to commit enough voter fraud to sway an election and get away with it.
However, ELECTION FRAUD is a concern as that is how Bush stole the last 2 elections because only ONE person can effectively steal an election and do so without a trail.
The electronic voting machines are a scam, they have destroyed what little democracy we had left in this country and because Bush was able to STEAL office in 2000 and 2004 Election fraud has completely ruined this country.
We are now 11 TRILLION in debt, on the brink of total collapse (depression) and the whole planet hates our collective guts, all because of Election fraud and the fact that the Mainstream Media flatly refuses to discuss it.
