The cards had been filled in months ago, but had never been submitted to elections officials for processing. State law requires they be turned in within ten days of filling them out. Secretary of State Mary Kiffmeyer says more than 300 cards were recovered , and photocopies of them have been forward to county officials for proc essing. Kiffmeyer said Minnesotans who filled out the cards will have their data recorded and will appear on precinct rosters on election day. The man under investigation is a former canvasser for the community actio n group ACORN, which has been running aggressive voter registration driv es this year. Becky Gomer, the head organizer in Minnesota for ACORN, says the man was one of a number of canvassers who were paid one dollar for each new vote r registration they secured. She says ACORN supervisors discharged him b ecause representatives of the county attorney warned the group they susp ected he was registering some voters twice to double his fee. |
