CLEVELAND - Two Ohio voters, including Domino's pizza worker Christopher Barkley , claimed yesterday that they were hounded by the community-activist group ACORN to register to vote several times, even though they made it clear they'd already signed up.What's the matter with these people? Besides the obvious anger at ACORN, don't any of these people have enough strength of character to say NO! to the ACORN thugs?
Barkley estimated he'd registered to vote "10 to 15" times after canvassers for ACORN, whose political wing has endorsed Barack Obama, relentlessly pursued him and others.
Claims such as his have sparked election officials to probe ACORN.
"I kept getting approached by folks who asked me to register," Barkley said. "They'd ask me if I was registered. I'd say yes, and they'd ask me to do it [register] again.
"Some of them were getting paid to collect names. That was their sob story, and I bought it," he said.
Barkley is one of at least three people who have been subpoenaed by the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections as part of a wider inquiry into possible voter fraud by ACORN. The group seeks to register low-income voters, who skew overwhelmingly Democratic.
"You can tell them you're registered as many times as you want - they do not care," said Lateala Goins, 21, who was subpoenaed.
"They will follow you to the buses, they will follow you home, it does not matter," she told The Post.
She added that she never put down an address on any of the registration forms, just her name.
A third subpoenaed voter, Freddie Johnson, 19, filled out registration cards 72 times over 18 months, officials said.
"It feeds the public perception that there could be [fraud], and that makes the pillars fall down," said local Board of Elections President Jeff Hastings.
I've been approached lots of times by people trying to register voters, and yet somehow I've only registered once. How weak do you have to be to fill out 72 voter registration forms?
By the way, the funds being used to pay the ACORN thugs is likely coming out of your pocket thanks to the constant tax-funded giveaways to the organization by the Democrats. Every opportunity they get they throw millions of dollars at ACORN to perpetuate their fraud. They tried to sneak a provision into the bailout bill that would have potentially given them billions, but voter outrage killed that.
