Cuyahoga County Election Board members grilled representatives of a community group Tuesday about their links to suspicious voter registration cards.

In one case, a Cleveland resident was registered to vote three times in a single day, listing two different addresses. The man's registration was submitted to the Board of Elections by ACORN.

The board discussed several other cases of multiple registrations at their meeting. ACORN was involved in each case, although not for all entries by the same individuals.

"Problems do occur and we are concerned as you are, perhaps in some cases more concerned because our name is on that," says Teresa James, an attorney volunteering with ACORN.

While admitting they don't have the resources to track all multiple entries, they submit all registrations to the Board and attach a warning about cards that raise suspicions.

Leaders of the group say their role is to help low and moderate income residents participate in the democratic process and it's up to the board to weed out problematic registrations.

"ACORN is very proud of the work we do registering low income people to vote. Nearly 100-thousand cards, and we're talking about less than 100 people and we're working to resolve issues on that small number of people," said Kristopher Harsh an organizer with the group.

Board Member Robert Frost said the group failed to follow guidelines in its own manual to turn over suspected voter fraud to law enforcement to investigate.
Election officials subpoenaed three voters to appear before the Board next week to explain their mulitple registrations.

The list includes a Cuyahoga County resident whose name appears on 22 registration cards submitted in six months.

WHY DOES ANYONE NEED TO GO TO ACORN TO REGISTER TO VOTE? THEY CAN JUST AS EASILY GO TO CITY HALL TO REGISTER. POOR PEOPLE MIGHT BE POOR, BUT THEY ARE NOT TOO STUPID TO FIND THEIR WAY TO CITY HALL.

LA RAZA IS REGISTERING PEOPLE TO VOTE TOO. I HOPE THEY ARE GOING TO HIT LA RAZA AS WELL.

I bet LaRaza should be next!

I believe acorn and La Raza are connected at the hip.The government should shut these people down compleatly.

LA RAZA WILL BE NEXT. STAY TUNED.

..and I hope they hit them HARD..!!!

The only good way to avoid this is to NOT ALLOW third party groups like ACORN and LA RAZA conduct "voter registrations" at all.....voter registration forms should only be done at the County Clerk's offices ....that's it, no more third parties doing voter registration....end of story.

There was just a report on FOX about this, they interviewed a guy who registered 15 times Under the same name of course he said he did not know he was doing anything wrong
