Default ACORN Registration Workers Charged With Felony Voter Fraud

ACORN Registration Workers Charged With Felony Voter Fraud

Five Wisconsin residents, including two who worked for community organizing group ACORN, were charged Monday with election fraud relating to the 2008 presidential election.
State Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen announced felony charges against Maria Miles, Kevin Clancy, Michael Henderson, Herbert Gunka and Suzanne Gunka.
Miles and Clancy worked for the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now and are accused of submitting multiple voter registration applications for the same individuals, including each other, to meet voter registration quotes imposed by the community organizing group.
Henderson is charged with one count of voting by a disqualified person and providing false information to election officials. The allegation claims he was on a felony probation and prohibited from voting at the time.
Herbert and Suzanne Gunka are each charged with double voting -- a felony -- by allegedly absentee voting and then going to the polls to vote.
"The integrity of elections is dependent upon citizens and officials insisting they be conducted lawfully. Wisconsin's citizens should not have to wonder whether their vote has been negated or diminished by illegally cast ballots," Van Hollen said.
My FoxMilwaukee reported that neither could immediately be reached for comment, and it was unclear whether they had lawyers.
Each individual charge carries a potential penalty of imprisonment up to three and a half years and a $10,000 fine. They are scheduled to appear in court on April 20.


WITI-TV, MADISON - Two voter registration workers for the activist group ACORN are among five Wisconsin residents charged with crimes stemming from the 2008 election. A criminal complaint charges Maria Miles and Kevin Clancy with falsely procuring voter registration as a party to the crime.

The complaint says Miles and Clancy submitted multiple voter registration applications for the same individuals to meet voter registration quotas imposed by ACORN.

Neither could immediately be reached for comment, and it was unclear whether they had lawyers.

The others facing charges include a felon accused of illegally voting in the election, and a husband and wife accused of each voting twice.

Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen announced the charges the same day a front-page column in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel quoted a prosecutor criticizing police for largely ignoring voter fraud cases.
