LAS VEGAS Nevada authorities seized records Tuesday from a group they accused of submitting fraudulent voter-registration forms including for the starting lineup of the Dallas Cowboys.
"Tony Romo is not registered to vote in the stateof Nevada, and anybody trying to pose as Terrell Owens won't be able to cast a ballot on Nov. 4," said Secretary of State Ross Miller, referring to star players on the pro football team.
State authorities raided the headquarters of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, a groupthat works to register low-income people.
Miller said the raid was part of a monthslong investigation, and he contended the group had submitted registration forms that used false information or duplicated information on multiple forms. He did not estimate how many.
Bertha Lewis, interim chief organizer for ACORN, said the group has been working with election officials to weed out fraudulent forms from those submitted by the canvassers it hires.
Acorn submitted voter reg. through "Project Vote."
Some used nonexistent names, false addresses and duplicates of previously filed applications, said an official.
Secretary of State Ross Miller said the fraudulent registrations included forms for the starting lineup of the Dallas Cowboys football team.
Tony Romo is not registered to vote in the state of Nevada, and anybody trying to pose as Terrell Owens wont be able to cast a ballot on Nov. 4, Miller said.
