ACORN in Hot Water
The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), one of the two organizations opposing the development of Willets Point - is in hot water for its questionable activities in registering voters.
The New York Post tells the story of a 7 year old girl in Connecticut who was registered to vote through a voter registration drive. From the Post:
Voter registration fraud complaints like these continue to mount for the group, already under scrutiny in 11 states where hundreds, if not thousands, of new registrations are being questioned.
ACORN volunteers have been found to register dead people and even put members of the Dallas Cowboys on Nevada lists.
Practices like these are pretty despicable, and this is the organization that is doing much of the legwork in the opposition of the Willets Point plan for redevelopment. With enemies like these, the Mayor’s plan just might turn out alright.
