It looks like fake voters are popping up all over the country in an effort to skew the polls and whose name is showing up concurrently? ACORN.

According to a CNN:

And in Lake County, home to the long-depressed steel town of Gary, the bipartisan Elections Board has stopped processing a stack of about 5,000 applications delivered just before the October 6 registration deadline after the first 2,100 turned out to be phony.
"All the signatures looked exactly the same," Ruthann Hoagland, a Republican on the board. "Everything on the card filled out looks exactly the same."

A subsidiary of the group was paid $800,000 by Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's campaign to register voters for the 2008 primaries, and ACORN's political wing endorsed Obama back in February. But Obama's campaign told CNN that it "is committed to protecting the integrity of the voting process," and said it has not worked with ACORN during the general election.

A story published on Digital Journal by Susan Duclos revealed that "Lake County elections officials have confirmed that a "large portion" of 5,000 registration forms turned in from the ACORN group, have been found to have problems and have been rejected." That number seems to be confirmed at 2,100.

ACORN is currently under investigation for fraudulent registrations in other states. In Vegas, the organization's office was raided due to their being "accused of submitting multiple voter registrations with false and duplicate names." The attorney for the organization defended his client, saying in the news report that

allegations that his organization committed fraud is a government attempt to keep people disenfranchised. "We believe their purpose is to attack ACORN and suppress votes," Mellor said. "We believe that by attacking ACORN, they are going to discourage people that have registered to vote with ACORN from voting."

The 5000 bogus registrations have been put in what is being termed as the "fake pile" for further investigation.

No voter fraud has been committed yet as there have been not actual votes submitted.
