A Chester County representative of Barack Obama’s bank intimidation and voter fraud group ACORN received a sentence of 6 – 23 months house arrest as well as being ordered to pay a hefty $574 in restitution for forging 18 voter registrations.
Sitting around for a couple years and paying $574 dollars? And they said cruel and unusual punishment was unconstitutional!
The 34-year-old Chester man must serve six to 23 months of home confinement after his sentencing Monday in Delaware County, reports the Associated Press.
Barksdale must also pay the group $574 restitution after pleading guilty to forgery, theft and other charges.
The original charges against Barksdale were much more involved. Beyond the 18 registrations with stolen personal information, there were reported to be 22 registrations with “completely fictitious” information. Additionally, ACORN forwarded some 500 fishy registrations to the DA, some bearing names like “Ben Dover.” Wonder what happened to those. Guess we can go back to excusing ACORN now.
Jemar Barksdale, 34, of Chester, while employed by the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, submitted 18 fraudulent forms using the names of existing voters, and 22 other applications in which the information was “completely fictitious,” according to District Attorney G. Michael Green.
County detectives interviewed the 18 voters starting in late July. Six are elderly and one attends Don Guanella School, a facility for mentally disabled men.
“Each of the purported applicants, upon interview, stated that the signature appearing on the application in his or her name was not, in fact, the signature of that person,” Green said.

Barksdale is the brother of Jamille “Banks” Barskdale, who is an alleged member of a violent drug gang and is on Chester police’s most-wanted list, according to a law-enforcement source.
