What are Obama’s “old friends” at ACORN up to these days? They’re signing up countless new voters who will dutifully cast dubious ballots for their far Left savior and soulmate. The Las Vegas Review Journal reports today on ACORN’s flurry of suspicious activities. Remember, people. This is your tax dollars at work:

Analysts have attributed much of the surge to interest in the election and enthusiasm for Democratic candidate Barack Obama among young people and blacks, traditionally two groups that register and vote at lower rates than the population as a whole.

But as a day spent with canvassers showed, the new voters aren’t lining up at the county building to register themselves. Rather, they’re being aggressively recruited.

“We approach them. We bring the issue to them,” said Chris Edwards, ACORN’s Nevada field director. “We don’t wait for them to come to us.”

“Whenever people get paid to register voters, those individuals have an incentive to meet their quota, and that results sometimes in people doing things they shouldn’t,” Lomax said.

His office sends out thousands of letters based on registration applications that don’t have valid addresses or Social Security numbers, or have other suspicious irregularities.

The office also receives frequent complaints from people who have been notified of changes in their registration that they say they didn’t make.

“There’s no question it’s a crime. It says right there on the form it’s a felony to put down false voter registration information,” said Lomax, who is working with authorities to see what can be done.

How about de-funding ACORN? I ask again: Hello, GOP? Anyone home

Today's "acorn watch" column - second verse, sames as the first - just different location...

Yesterday, it was Las Vegas. Today, it’s Dauphin County, Pa. I’m going to make ACORN Watch a regular feature, because Obama’s “old friends” will be up to no good across the country through November. And you’re paying for it. Keep a look out in your neck of the woods.

Hat tip for this one to reader Sandy. Via the Patriot-News:

A voter registration drive by a national organization is being investigated by Dauphin County authorities after election officials raised questions about more than 100 of the forms.

Charles Jackson, a spokesman for the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, said that his organization fired a temporary employee involved in collecting registrations and that it has been cooperating with Dauphin County detectives.

Dauphin County District Attorney Edward M. Marsico Jr. confirmed last week the investigation by county detectives is “ongoing.” John Goshert, head county detective, said a former ACORN worker had been questioned, but has not been charged with any criminal offense.
