During the 2008 presidential election, law enforcement agencies in about a dozen states including Nevada, Ohio and Wisconsin investigated fake voter registration cards submitted by the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, known as ACORN. No criminal charges were filed against the nonprofit organization, which collected 1.3 million registrations in a nationwide get-out-the-vote effort.
The agency said the bogus cards represented less than 1 percent of those collected. The problem forms — some bearing names such as “Mickey Mouse” and “Donald Duck” — were completed by lazy workers trying to get out of canvassing neighborhoods, ACORN officials said. Since the 2004 presidential election, ex-employees have been convicted of submitting false registrations in states including Florida and Missouri.
