Reports that four "registration recruiters" working for ACORN were indicted in Kansas City, charged with voter fraud. Says that ACORN claims to have processed more than 35,000 voter registration applications in Kansas City since the summer, and ACORN says they turned in the workers and is quoted as "welcoming" the arrests. The workers have been fired.

ACORN and Project Vote recruit and assign workers to low-income and minority neighborhoods to register people to vote.

The Kansas City Election Board told KMBC they found suspicious forms, such as seven applications from one person and an application for a dead man.

"There is some motive behind it -- this is not accidental," said Ray James with the Kansas City Election Board.

Election officials said some of the application cards had false addresses, signatures and phone numbers.
