Project Vote

Project Vote (or Voting for America, Inc.[1]) is a nonpartisan, nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization. It was founded in 1982 by Sandy Newman and its current executive director is Michael Slater, who has worked for Project Vote since 2004.[2][3][4] Project Vote’s efforts to engage low income and minority voters in the civic process include the provision of training, management, evaluation and technical services.[5]

One of Project Vote’s most successful voter registration drives was directed by Barack Obama in Chicago during 1992.

Project Vote: Extended Profile

The stated purpose of Project Vote is to work within the system, using conventional voter-mobilization drives and litigation to secure the rights of minority and low-income voters under the U.S. Constitution. However, Project Vote’s actions suggest that its true agenda is more radical. Its activities appear to be aimed at overwhelming, paralyzing and discrediting the voting system through fraud, protests, propaganda and vexatious litigation.

In this respect, Project Vote appears to be following the so-called “crisis strategy” or Cloward-Piven Strategy pioneered during the Sixties by Columbia University political scientists Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven.

Interesting: the voter fraud incidents we saw in the last election were not isolated incidents in which over-zealous ACORN staff got caught, but a conscious program to intentionally delegitimize the American electoral process.
