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 nonexistent 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 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, and all but six of the 1,800 names were fake.

“Ducky, Gilmore was a an absolute disaster as a Governor. An absolute disaster. He ran on eliminating the car tax, well I am still paying it. I didn’t vote for him to REDUCE it, I voted for him to ELIMINATE it. Yet he blames others for this failure.”

The car tax was intended to be a plan to be carried over into the next administration. As Mark Warner promised in his debates against Mark Earley, he would finish the repeal of the car tax. What do you think Mark Earley would have done? I get the feeling he would have finished the car tax.

The plan was to phase the car tax over several years, and would have been finished if Mark Warner had kept his promise.

I’m sorry you feel so strongly, but hopefully you will look at the history and re-evaluate your comment on the car tax rather than resorting to ad hominem attacks that advance no conversation.

If you have a plan to vote against all of the incumbents who supported the bail out, bring it on! I am behind that idea 100%

Where’s Ross Perot when you need him.

It would be wonderful if people would manifest their will and unseat all or most incumbents in a bloodbath. I wish some public figure would lead people in making a bipartisan pledge to just vote against your incumbent if they voted for the bailout.

Ducky, Gilmore was a an absolute disaster as a Governor. An absolute disaster. He ran on eliminating the car tax, well I am still paying it. I didn’t vote for him to REDUCE it, I voted for him to ELIMINATE it. Yet he blames others for this failure.

He was reckless in a fiscal sense and left this State in hard financial times.

He also had absolutely no business butting into the Hugh Finn case. Aren’t we Republicans for less government in our lives?

Gilmore was a loser and he’ll still be a loser (again) in November.

Time for the Republican party to change directions or we’ll be insignificant for years to come.

The GOP thought they would have majority rule for decades to come. Instead Rove and Bush have destroyed the Republican party.

17. Do you support the Uniting American Families Act, the bill that would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to allow permanent partners of U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents, including same-sex partners, to obtain permanent residency?
Yes.

36. On what immigration issues will you take leadership?
As president, I am committed to passing comprehensive reform and fixing our immigration system to ensure that both immigration enforcement and immigration services are better executed.

The Virginia Republican Party is hopelessy incompetent. Hopeless.

FARMVILLE, Va. — A clearing in the woods between this small town’s water treatment plant and a metal salvage yard soon will be transformed into what could become the largest immigration detention facility in the mid-Atlantic region, a $21 million project fueled by the aggressive policies some Virginia localities have adopted toward identifying illegal immigrants and handing them over to the federal government.

The 1,040-bed facility will be unique not only because it will dwarf many of Virginia’s jails but also because it is a private venture aimed at capitalizing on the massive influx of detainees into the Immigration and Customs Enforcement system over the past year. A small group of Richmond investors looks to reap millions of dollars in profit by building what has been described as the “mid-Atlantic hub” for ICE operations in a town just three hours south of the nation’s capital.

Sounds like a good money-making opportunity!

The possibility that Democrats will build a muscular, 60-seat Senate majority is looking increasing plausible, with new polls showing a powerful surge for the party’s candidates in Minnesota, Kentucky and other states.

A poll out Friday shows Sen. Norm Coleman could now easily lose his Minnesota seat to comedian-turned-candidate Al Franken. A Colorado race that initially looked like a nail-biter has now broken decisively for the Democrats. A top official in the McCain camp told us Sen. Elizabeth Dole is virtually certain to lose in conservative North Carolina.
