The Truth about ACORN Voter Fraud
We take a look at the ACORN voter fraud accusations, their validity, who made the accusations, and why ACORN became the target of the voter fraud scandal.
ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) was an important . ACORN is a a group of community-based organizations that help low to moderate income individuals and families with voter registration among other services. Since their 1,200 groups and 500,000 members helped voters across America to register to vote it became a big target for the GOP.
Why Did the GOP Target ACORN?
The GOP went on the attack against ACORN during the 2008 elections, ultimately forcing Acorn into bankruptcy in 2010. But why did Republicans attack ACORN for voter fraud? Well, it’s a fact that the more people vote, the less likely Republicans are to win elections. You see low to middle income families are more likely to vote for a Democratic candidate do to the democratic idea of providing for all Americans instead of focusing on a system of trickle down wealth that Republicans champion.
Republicans believe that tax breaks for Americas wealthiest creates jobs. Unfortunately for those who listen to right wing Media they have been convinced that this is true. The truth is that Mom and Pop businesses with under 10 employees create the most jobs in the united states and the concept of trickle down economics has been long proven to create job loss, disenfranchise workers and to rack up the debt and deficit at alarming rates.
So one of the main Republican goals during election time is to accuse Democrats of voter fraud. In order to do this effectively the use half truths and rhetoric to attack institutions such as ACORN.
What Did ACORN do to Commit Voter Fraud?
Well the answer to the question, “Did ACORN commit voter fraud?”, is nothing really. You see Republicans brought hidden cameras to ACORN and attempted to commit voter fraud. These videos were falsified and edited to make it look like one member of the 500k members of ACORN suggested how to hide taxes.
This led to an organization that helped low to middle income individuals with healthcare, neighborhood safety, voter registration since 1970 with a clean record to file for bankruptcy. The Republicans got their way and came close to stealing the election because of it.
It’s time to find out who is behind this.
Who is Behind the ACORN Scandal?
It’s very easy to track down who is behind the ACORN voter fraud organizations. There are a select few Big Business backed organizations that push their agendas on the federal and state government by helping to spread talking points and draft up legislation such as the defund ACORN Act.
These individuals include Rupert Murdoch who owns fox news and the Koch Brothers who fund a group called ALEC. They don’t like the fact that ACORN uses government money to stand in the way of the Republican party. They know that when the Republicans aren’t in power then workers have more power and they pay more taxes so they go after these sorts of groups using Republicans who are placed in power by their money.
The Koch Brothers and Rupert Murdoch are behind a lot of the Voter Fraud Controversy in the United States. They stand to lose the most money and power if Republicans lose the election.
It’s a corrupt system that has led to a grass roots organization with no history of voter fraud to go bankrupt. Many chapters still exist but it will never be the same. Did you support the ACORN voter fraud scandal. Now that you know the facts perhaps next time democrats are accused of voter fraud you’ll stand up for the American people and stop helping Big Business fight against your interests.
