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 my book Subversion Inc. that ACORN would resurface and I was right.

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 come under fire for refusing to enforce Section 8, which requires states to remove the names of ineligible felons, the dead, and non-residents from voter rolls, while zealously enforcing Section 7, which requires states to register voters at welfare offices.


As I argue in my book published earlier this year, Subversion Inc.: How Obama’s ACORN Red Shirts are Still Terrorizing and Ripping Off American Taxpayers, those on relief tend to support Democrats, so Section 7 amounts to a taxpayer subsidy for Democratic candidates. Project Vote founder Sanford Newman openly admits his group’s work helps the Left almost exclusively.”While our work is nonpartisan, it is realistic to assume that upward of 90 percent of the people we register on unemployment and othersocial service distribution lines will oppose politicians who have supported cuts in the programs on which they rely,” he said. ”They are likely to vote Democratic in most instances.”
