ACORN Worker Indicted

St. Louis Post-Dispatch, "Ex-ACORN worker indicted in voter fraud case":

A voter registration worker with the group ACORN has been indicted on two felony counts of voter registration fraud.

Deidra Humphrey, 44, of East St. Louis, is expected to appear in U.S. District Court in St. Louis this week after a grand jury indicted her on the charges Dec. 31, according to the U.S. attorney's office.

Humphrey is accused of submitting forged and false voter registration cards for the Nov. 8 general election — including forging cards for nursing home residents — U.S. Attorney Catherine Hanaway said Monday.

She also worked for Pro-Vote:

ProVote's interim executive director, Joan Suarez, said Humphrey was dismissed this summer from her position as an hourly worker for failing to meet voter registration goals. Suarez said she didn't know Humphrey was the target of a criminal probe until the FBI contacted her office.

"It's such tripe," Suarez said. "I can't understand why anybody would commit fraud."

Really?
