The fox is watching the henhouse

At least they're telling us in advance where they're going to do it:

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 6 /U.S. Newswire/ -- More than 4,000 ACORN members, volunteers and canvassers wearing red T-shirts will blanket 20 cities, reaching hundreds of thousand of residents of low-income neighborhoods across the nation Tuesday in a massive get-out-the-vote effort. Raising the minimum wage is a key issue in four states: Arizona, Colorado, Missouri, and Ohio.

In Ohio, ACORN's get-out-the-vote campaign workers will have knocked on 900,000 doors in Cleveland, Columbus, Toledo, Dayton and Akron by the end of the campaign.

To help ensure fair elections, ACORN will work with Project Vote, the NAACP and other organizations that will monitor polling locations in minority neighborhoods in five states: Maryland, Ohio, Missouri, Michigan and Colorado. Voting rights lawyers and advocates will help identify and solve problems such as voter intimidation by partisan challengers, improper ID requests and machine glitches. Staff attorneys will respond with advice and, if appropriate, litigation to problems reported from advocates, volunteers and voters.

"To help ensure fair elections..." Good thing I'm not drinking milk - I'd have sprayed the monitor! Anyway, keep an eye out for the red shirts - at least we'll be able to identify these Democratic Party sponsored election fraud specialists.

Oh, this part was especially funny:

IN MARYLAND, ACORN will help monitor 75 precincts in Baltimore City as part of a program organized by the NAACP. The precincts were chosen because they had a high concentration of recently registered voters whose information the state was unable to verify. ACORN, Project Vote, and the Advancement Project reached a settlement with the State of Maryland that established procedures allowing these individuals to vote.

Recently registered and unverifiable, eh? Wonder where those came from?

As comical as it sounds, though, this is deadly serious stuff. Changing the makeup of government should be based on the will of the American people - not bogus folks ACORN made up, not non-citizens, not dead people.

Let's hope that there's plenty of folks watching ACORN tomorrow.
