Nevada GOP Contacted State About ACORN Before RaidThe Nevada Republican Party raised concerns with the Secretary of State’s office about potential voter fraud in ACORN’s voter registration efforts before Tuesday’s raid by state authorities on ACORN’s Las Vegas office, according to the party’s executive director.
Zachary Moyle told TPMmuckraker that the state party has long seen ACORN’s voter registration work as a “red flag,” and that the contact with the
office of Democratic Secretary of State Ross Miller, which took the lead in ordering the raid, occurred over the summer. Moyle stressed that it’s far from unusual for the GOP to raise concerns over voter fraud, and said that it has also been working closely with the Clark County registrar of voters on the issue.
The Secretary of State’s office has said in an affidavit that the raid was triggered by evidence that ACORN has filed fraudulent registration forms, though it has not yet said how widespread the problem is.
