… We could be headed for so many contested votes, that Florida’s “chads and dimples” debacle might look like nothing more than a mere minor blip. According to the Detroit Free Press, “Several municipal clerks across the state are reporting fraudulent and duplicate voter registration applications, most of them from a nationwide community activist group working to help low- and moderate-income families.”

“There appears to be a sizeable number of duplicate and fraudulent applications,” said Kelly Chesney, spokeswoman for the Michigan Secretary of State’s Office. “And it appears to be widespread.”

Chesney said her office has had discussions with ACORN officials after local clerks reported the questionable applications to the state. Chesney said some of the applications are duplicates and some appear to be names that have been made up. The Secretary of State’s Office has turned over several of the applications to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office on Friday declined to confirm whether an investigation was taking place.

The Detroit Free Press goes on to say that “the majority of the problem applications are coming from the group ACORN, Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now,”

This is already going to be a very intense, very heated, and possibly very close election.  I can only imagine what a few large-scale cases of voter fraud will add to the mix.
