Wake Up America has been following the twists and turns, the tangled webs of deceit involved. I find it hard to even wrap my brain around the whole mess, but WUA has the latest up today:

ACORN And Obama: Fraud You Can Believe In!!
(Click image to enlarge for better reading)
The ACORN voter fraud scandal has gotten so big and is being investigated in so many different states, not many know exactly what to do about it.
Start with the ACORN-Barack Obama connection. First and foremost, ACORN is a liberal group and the problems stem from their "voter drives" where they go out and get people to register... the problem is, they are registering the same people, in one case, 73 times, dead people, pets and under-aged children (even a 7 year-old), they offer cash and cigarettes as payment to get people to keep registering multiple times and they have had members convicted in previous years for the same type of behavior.
That is the tip of the iceberg.
Wall Street Journal cuts to the chase:Which brings us to Mr. Obama, who got his start as a Chicago "community organizer" at Acorn's side. In 1992 he led voter registration efforts as the director of Project Vote, which included Acorn. This past November, he lauded Acorn's leaders for being "smack dab in the middle" of that effort. Mr. Obama also served as a lawyer for Acorn in 1995, in a case against Illinois to increase access to the polls.
During his tenure on the board of Chicago's Woods Fund, that body funneled more than $200,000 to Acorn. More recently, the Obama campaign paid $832,000 to an Acorn affiliate. The campaign initially told the Federal Election Commission this money was for "staging, sound, lighting." It later admitted the cash was to get out the vote.
The Obama campaign is now distancing itself from Acorn, claiming Mr. Obama never organized with it and has nothing to do with illegal voter registration. Yet it's disingenuous to channel cash into an operation with a history of fraud and then claim you're shocked to discover reports of fraud. As with Rev. Jeremiah Wright and William Ayers, Mr. Obama was happy to associate with Acorn when it suited his purposes. But now that he's on the brink of the Presidency, he wants to disavow his ties.
I will also list all previous pieces about ACORN written here at the bottom of this post.
In Indiana, ACORN aka Association of Community Organizations for Reform, election officials were going through 5,000 ACORN submissions and gave up after 2,100 of them were found to be fraudulent, via Instapundit, we have video of the news report....
As stated, WUA has been following this, (as have others), and there are many links on there to the previous posts. Read them all, and connect your own dots. With the US election fast approaching, many are wondering if all this will unravel in time to finally get Obama out of the race for the highest office in America.
Only time will tell. Go here to read all that the Obama campaign would like you to ignore. This issue is far too important for US to ignore. What evolves from this will set the tone of American elections for years to come.
HERE are the facts.
