ACORN Nevada Raid Update
Nevada state authorities raided a local office of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) late Tuesday as part of an investigation into allegations that the non-profit, the nation's largest group for low-income people, had committed voter fraud.
Investigators from the offices of the Secretary of State and the state Attorney General seized eight computer hard drives and about 20 boxes of documents. They are looking into accusations that ACORN had submitted registration forms containing false information and had tried to register voters multiple times.
Nevada authorities seized records Tuesday from a group they accused of submitting fraudulent voter-registration forms - including for the starting lineup of the Dallas Cowboys.
"Tony Romo is not registered to vote in the state of Nevada, and anybody trying to pose as Terrell Owens won't be able to cast a ballot on Nov. 4," said Secretary of State Ross Miller, referring to star players on the pro football team.
State authorities raided the headquarters of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, a group that works to register low-income people.
Miller said the raid was part of a monthslong investigation, and he contended the group had submitted registration forms that used false information or duplicated information on multiple forms. He did not estimate how many.
