An old Republican scam, never been carried out with more zeal than this year.

The only actual crime here is that Acorn managed to register some 1.3m low-income (read: Democratic-leaning) voters over the past two years. The rest is, pretty much, just made up.

But in the bloody and desperate trenches of the Republican war on democracy, that's more than enough to kick in a last minute surge of lies that may - with the help of a compliant and lazy corporate US media - wreak enough havoc, scare enough voters, confuse enough people and plant enough seeds to call an Obama victory into doubt on November 4.

f you can't win it, steal it. If you can't steal it, claim the other guy stole it.

Same old worn-out Republican strategy.

Read the rest of the article to learn how ACORN verifies the legitimacy of every registration.

The result: exactly ZERO FRAUDULENT VOTES.

This isn't even an article, it's a comment from another jerk that has nothing to back it up with.

LOL...talk about a scam.

chestnut, did you even read the fact-based 'comment'?

I suggest you do so, and follow the links that DO BACK it up with FACTS before throwing names at someone and showing us all how you are willing to believe only whatever the main stream media is throwing at us..

How very generous of you.

Look, all I am asking is that you open your mind and look beyond the one sided propaganda machine that the main stream media has become. Shun the poverty of ignorance.

Democrats have registered four times more new voters than Republicans. Republicans are losing the election big time. With no real way to defend 8 years of failure, lies, and mismanagement of the economy and foreign wars there are no issues on which the Republicans don't lose.

So they make false links to Ayres...the scream about voter fraud (which they do more of).

On this specific case, too, it's not even voter fraud...it's accustion of Voter Registration Fraud.

Ha...Voter Registration Fraud....which came down to nothing more than Absolutely Routine & Common mistakes and minor street-people scams...mistakes that are suppose to be searched for and corrected before getting to the voting boo...

Clipped from this guy's article
Brad Friedman guardian.co.uk, Monday October 13 2008 20.30 BST Article history - Ahh here is your source, the old liberal (democrat) leaning Guardian from Britan-hell of a source! He must be looking right over their shoulders right?

Aqualung, the source is in the clip. Are you people just commenting based on other things you have heard or 'feel' without researching?

The sources are in the clip!

This open forum works best with informed readers. Please do your part.

It all goes back to one guys blog. I don't see any substantiation of the claims that ACORN provided the information about possible inconsistancies with their filings. Brads blog gives clips from supposed Press releases from Oct 7 and 8th. The cat was 'already out of the bag' by then, I only see them covering their collective butt's here!

Aqualung1000, what right-wing Talking Points are you sources...or is your poor reading comprehension all of your own unmaking?

Multiple sources talk about ACORN following the required procedure of:

#1 > Required to turn in any voter registration cards turned in.

#2 > Reviewed and flagged those registration cards they were suspicious of, themselves.

___

Overall, the vast majority of the American people have decided to vote for Obama. This is strongly due to the realities of the last eight years - 8 years -- of the Bush Administration.

The sudden fabrication and falses charges about ACORN (and Ayres) have meant nothing to nobody except the Republican base --- three weeks of false accus...

Try this link for your Dem voter fraud citizen, get to it quickly before it gets removed again. I would clip it normally but again clipmarks won't allow me to. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85pgvp-hZjI and another here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPvJRkyb8PQ&feature=related

spirithiker - Read from the source, follow the links, they all lead to something called BRADS BLOG, not exactly an irrefutable source! Save the sarcasm, use logic!

When ACORN registers voters, they are required, BY LAW, to turn over all completed registration forms, even those which may be fraudulent. When ACORN people find an obviously fake form (like "Mickey Mouse", for instance) their policy is to mark it as such before turning it in.

Spirithiker, asking chestnut to open his mind is like asking George W. Bush to tell the truth. Ain't going to happen.
