Nevada state authorities seized records and computers Tuesday from the Las Vegas office of an organization that tries to get low-income people registered to vote, after fielding complaints of voter fraud.

Bob Walsh, spokesman for the Nevada secretary of state's office, told FOXNews.com the raid was prompted by ongoing complaints about "erroneous" registration information being submitted by the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, also called ACORN. The group was submitting the information through a voter sign-up drive known as Project Vote.

"Some of them used non-existent names, some of them used false addresses and some of them were duplicates of previously filed applications," Walsh said, describing the complaints, which largely came from the registrar in Clark County, Nev. He said some registrations used the names of Dallas Cowboys football players.

Walsh said agents from both the secretary of state's office and Nevada attorney general's office conducted the raid, and "took a bunch of stuff."

ACORN spokesman Charles Jackson confirmed the group's Nevada office was raided.

It's not the first time ACORN's been under investigation for irregularities in registration records.

In 2006, ACORN committed what the Washington Secretary of State Sam Reed called the "worse case of election fraud" in the state's history.

In the case, ACORN submitted just over 1,800 new voter registration forms, but there was a problem. The names were made up -- all but six of the 1,800 submissions were fakes.

At the very least voter fraud should disenfranchise those guilty for life. It should be a felony and your rights should be curtailed for life. What about the voter Good Will in Ohio who has registered at least 10 times and given upward of 2,000 seperate donations to Obama?

Remember children, vote early and vote often.

Gee, that sounds eerily similar to the dead folks who voted for Kennedy in Cook County Illinois. Just because Obama comes from the same political machine, Dailey, as those dead voters doesn't mean he's liable to cheat though.

ACORN is also the group, besides voter fraud, are ones who tried to guilt banks into loaning more to folks who can't afford it. When banks said they didn't have enough money, ACORN lobbied Fannie Mae to push more money.

Guess who is in bed with ACORN?

I'm SHOCKED!

You'd think after the last time they were busted for fraud, they would have changed their ways, or maybe the time before that... or maybe even the time before that.
