The foundation of U.S. democracy -- the concept of one man, one vote -- has been shaken to the core by the widespread voter fraud campaign orchestrated by ACORN, the far-left advocacy group that received $800,000 from the Barack Obama campaign earlier this year to register new voters for Obama.

Today's New York Post has a startling revelation that an Ohio man who was encouraged by ACORN to register 72 times. The man Freddie Johnson, 19, told the newspaper he filled out 72 registration forms after ACORN recruiters offered him money or cigarettes.

From the NY Post article:

ACORN is under investigation in Ohio and at least eight other states - including Missouri, where the FBI said it's planning to look into potential voter fraud - for over-the-top efforts to get as many names as possible on the voter rolls regardless of whether a person is registered or eligible.

It's even under investigation in Bridgeport, Conn., for allegedly registering a 7-year-old girl to vote, according to the State Elections Enforcement Commission.

Meanwhile, a federal judge yesterday ordered Ohio's Secretary of State to verify the identity of newly registered voters by matching them with other government documents. The order was in response to a Republican lawsuit unrelated to the ACORN probe in Cuyahoga County, in which at least three people, including Johnson, have been subpoenaed.

Bribing citizens with gifts, property or anything of value is a fourth-degree felony in Ohio, punishable by up to 18 months in prison. And it's a fifth-degree felony - punishable by 12 months in jail - for a person to pay "compensation on a fee-per-registration" system when signing up someone to vote.
