Voter Fraud in Ohio; Judge Issues TRO Against Ohio Secretary of State

I find it unbelievable that a U.S. district judge must issue an order requiring that the Ohio Secretary of State verify registrations.

“Plaintiffs assert, and the court agrees, that it is hard to imagine a public interest more compelling than safeguarding the legitimacy of the election of the president of the United States,” [U.S. District Judge George C. Smith in Columbus, Ohio] wrote in his ruling.

Of Note: Below the fold you’ll find more videos from Fox News on the Acorn revelations, including an interview today with Stanley Kurtz who has written highly influential recent articles on Bill Ayers and on Acorn. Of note: I think Fox News’s videos are getting slammed because some of these are appearing slowly, so please be patient. Thank you.

Ohio secretary of state must verify registrations

By TERRY KINNEY – 1 hour ago

CINCINNATI (AP) — A federal judge on Thursday ordered Ohio’s top elections official to verify the identity of newly registered voters by matching them with other government documents.

U.S. District Judge George C. Smith in Columbus ruled that Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner must perform verification required by the Help America Vote Act. That includes matching new registrants’ information against information in databases maintained by the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles or the Social Security Administration.

The order was the result of a lawsuit the Ohio Republican Party filed against Brunner, a Democrat. …

Here are more videos on the Acorn controversy from Fox News today. The first is an interview with Stanley Kurtz, and is titled “Planting Seeds of Disaster”:

This third video is titled “The Tip of the Iceberg”:

Please share any reports you are hearing, and any new stories about the Acorn investigation being demanded now by members of Congress.

A PERSONAL COMMENTARY: It’s very strange to me to find myself siding with the Republicans regarding Ohio, given what former Secretary of State Ken Blackwell did in 2004, but my world (and many of yours) is turned upside down.

But I am most concerned that Barack Obama cultivated longterm relationships with radicals who want to alter this nation in ways we do not know yet. I am further concerned that Obama has also cultivated relationships with groups like Acorn that have aided (abetted?) him in his quest to gain control of the nation through the presidency. We also know that Obama was an Acorn activist, led Acorn training sessions, and represented Acorn in court as the group’s attorney.

Again, I never thought I’d write something like that, but I do believe it is true.

As I wrote “Barack Obama, The Front Man” this morning, it all began to meld in my mind. How Barack Obama built those enduring relationships with radicals but, in order to make himself palatable to most Americans, has skillfully “scrubbed” his resume of those past associations. He has even tried to hide his chairmanship of the $50 million Chicago Annenberg Challenge, even though it is the sole executive experience he can claim.

The reason for Obama’s hiding of the chairmanship of CAC is because it was founded by Bill Ayers, who obtained all the funding, who created the CAC’s radical agenda, and who personally HIRED Barack Obama.

Therefore, it is up to each of us to inform everyone we know, and to make our explanations as crisp and clear as possible — before it is too late.
