ACORN comes to NW Indiana

I am cumptter illiterate sorry.

INDIANAPOLIS - Secretary of State Todd Rokita says his office has found evidence of "multiple criminal violations, including possible state and federal racketeering laws" in connection with fraudulent voter registration applications filed in Lake County.

Rokita says many registration applications filed by the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN, had incomplete information or indications of fraud or forgery.

Rokita outlined his office's findings in a letter to federal, state and local prosecutors asking them to open a criminal investigation. A Deputy Indiana Attorney General has previously rejected that request, but senior law enforcement officials have told The Associated Press that the FBI was investigating ACORN.

In a letter to Lake County Prosecutor Bernard Carter, as well as the U.S. Attorney's Office, the FBI and Attorney General Steve Carter, Rokita urged investigators to treat the inaccurate ACORN voter registration applications in Lake County as vote fraud, "not simply registration fraud."

"This is voter fraud every bit as nefarious as the evidence each of our offices discovered in the 2003 election fraud investigation of former East Chicago Mayor (Robert) Pastrick's campaign," Rokita wrote.

ACORN officials were not immediately available for comment Monday, but members of the community organization have recently pledged to cooperate with any investigation into the Lake County voter drive.
