This Ohio man/woman registered to vote several times and cast a bogus ballot with a fake address. The vote of Darnell Nash (aka Santina Gibbs) was cancelled and his/her case was turned over to local prosecutors and law enforcement.

ACORN and Project Vote recruit and assign workers to low-income and minority neighborhoods to register people to vote. Acorn officials bill themselves as nonpartisan community organizers merely interested in giving a voice to minorities and the poor.

Allegations of fraud have tainted Acorn voter drives across the country. Acorn workers have been convicted in Wisconsin and Colorado, and investigations are still under way in Ohio, Tennessee and Pennsylvania.

ACORN Responds to Senator McCain
Maude Hurd, ACORN's National President, issued the following statement in response to Senator McCain's attack:

"We appreciate that Senator McCain's effort to stir up the Republican base by attacking a community organization working to increase public participation in our democratic process. However, these attacks reflect an increasingly panicked candidate; unfortunately the Senator McCain we saw tonight is very different than the Senator McCain who stood shoulder to shoulder with ACORN at a February 20, 2006 immigration reform event

It is clear for us to see that John McCain was for ACORN before he was against ACORN; he was for reform before he was against reform; and he was a maverick before he became erratic. What is really going here is that Senator McCain and his allies are part of a coordinated effort to engage in what appears to be an unprecedented effort to suppress voter turnout. Repeating a lie doesn't make it true, and the McCain campaign has resorted to the worst type of deceptions in regards to ACORN."
