: ACS BlogNevada Officials Raid Office of Nonprofit Voting Rights Group
Claiming to be searching for evidence of voter fraud, Nevada state authorities raided the headquarters of a nonprofit organization that helps low-income people vote. A spokesperson for the Nevada secretary of state’s office told The Associated Press that the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) has been accused of submitting multiple voter registrations with false names. State agents, according to the news service, took crates of documents from ACORN’s headquarters early this morning.
ACS and the American University Washington College of Law hosted a panel discussion today on obstacles to voting in the 2008 elections. During the discussion, Kristen Clark, assistant counsel in the Political Participation Group of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, said voter fraud accusations are often used to challenge the rights of voters. The entire discussion, which was Web cast live, can be viewed here.
