Yesterday, 3 members of the far-Left group ACORN pleaded guilty to election fraud in Seattle. The scheme they took part in was the largest in Washington state history. The media’s reaction? Mainly crickets.

Three of seven defendants in the biggest voter-registration fraud scheme in Washington history have pleaded guilty and one has been sentenced, prosecutors said Monday.

The defendants were all temporary employees of ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, when they allegedly filled out and submitted more than 1,800 fictitious voter-registration cards during a 2006 registration drive in King and Pierce counties.

No votes were cast in the names of the phony voters. Prosecutors said the defendants committed fraud in order to keep their jobs without actually registering voters.

King County election workers brought the fraud to the attention of prosecutors last October, after noticing that signatures on many registration forms looked like they had been written by the same person.

Michelle reminds us of the Moonbat cry of election fraud, along with preemptive claims of voting fraud for the 2006 election. However, when Democrats won, that talking point quickly disappeared. Apparently it’s only voting fraud if the American people don’t vote Democratic.
