Barack Obama's Involvement with ACORN
My point in the matter is this, daihashi:
If you're not ALLOWED to throw away bad voter registrations, how is it your fault that they get submitted?
I mean......if you're found to have violated the voter registration act, doesn't that carry some pretty salty penalties?
-edit-
Here's those penalties, as copied from the 1993 Voter Registration Act.
SEC. 12. CRIMINAL PENALTIES.
A person, including an election official, who in any election for Federal office--
(1) knowingly and willfully intimidates, threatens, or coerces, or attempts to
intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any person for--
(A) registering to vote, or voting, or attempting to register or vote;
(B) urging or aiding any person to register to vote, to vote, or to attempt to
register or vote; or
(C) exercising any right under this Act; o
(2) knowingly and willfully deprives, defrauds, or attempts to deprive or defraud
the residents of a State of a fair and impartially conducted election process, by--
(A) the procurement or submission of voter registration applications that are
known by the person to be materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent under the laws of the
State in which the election is held; or
(B) the procurement, casting, or tabulation of ballots that are known by the
person to be materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent under the laws of the State in which
the election is held, shall be fined in accordance with title 18, United States Code (which
fines shall be paid into the general fund of the Treasury, miscellaneous receipts (pursuant
to section 3302 of title 31, United States Code), notwithstanding any other law), or
imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both.
Title 18 says:
I cannot find? I hope it's some exorbitant fine, though.
