Another ACORN employee indicted for forgery. This time MI.

Hat Tip to Genn X

Add Michigan to the list of states prosecuting ACORN for forgery and voter registration fraud.

Michigan Atty. Gen. Mike Cox charged a former ACORN worker with forgery in connection with voter registration applications he submitted in the city of Jackson.

Antonio Johnson, 23, a convicted felon who is currently being held in Jackson County on a parole violation, is charged with six counts of forging a public document and faces up to 14 years on each count, Cox said in a news release. Johnson signed and submitted six voter registration applications, using two Jackson residents’ names, without their knowledge.

“This is an obvious case of forgery and that is why I am taking action today,” said Cox. “This office will not stand by while criminals interfere with the voting rights of Michigan citizens.”

Michigan is one of the 13 states where there are investigations into ACORN’s activities.
