Are we really surprised that we’re having the problem we are with fraudulent voter registrations from ACORN? According to a report by the New York Post, the left-wing, Obama-allied organization pressured workers into generating a quota of registrations. If they didn’t meet it? They were threatened with terminations and yelled at.

Pushed to meet daily quotas and bullied by bosses if they didn’t, Ohio ACORN workers faked voter registrations, signed up people more than once and even paid off registrants to keep from being fired, its canvassers told The Post. …

“We had meetings every morning where they’d go over your quota; they’d yell at you if you were low,” said [single mother Teshika Elder, 21]. “They’d sit us down and say if you didn’t do better, they’d suspend you. They’d say, ‘Try harder next time,’ [and] if you didn’t get it, you’d be fired.”

Desperate canvassers sometimes resorted to trading cigarettes, cash and food in exchange for registrations, according to Elder and two other former ACORN workers, Jaymes Sanford, 18, and Selvin Cunningham, 23.

Some voters were signed up more than once, and worried – or lazy – canvassers sometimes filled out bogus cards, they said.

If ACORN’s entire goal is just to help disenfranchised voters and not to get out a certain number of votes for a certain candidate, why do they need strict quotas and to yell at workers who miss them? Because ACORN’s goal isn’t just the betterment of a community. It’s a third-party GOTV effort for Barack Obama.
