Show us where the GOP had stopped people from voting, any proof? Or is that just something you make up to cast dispersionis on the GOP?

There are plenty of newspaper and magazine articles and even a pretty interesting book by the guy up in NH who went to jail (How to Rig an Election) about Republican dirty tricks designed to keep people from voting. If you are too lazy to look it up, I can probably come up with some sites for you.

Nice post karela33. Those of us who still have our wits about us either already knew or read with great interest. Too bad there are so many mad dogs out there who cannot see this for the tempest in a teapot that it is. Thankfully they are in the minority. They may reach a few uneducated souls but we porbably couldn''t get to them anyway.

Acorn is a fraudulent entity. Taxpayers money pay for this ***?

[karela33]

The Republican Party has been trying forever to show instances of Voting Fraud that relate to Voter registration fraud and they haven''t been able to. A few people trying to get paid more by turning in fake voter registrations is wrong. However, it only effects the actual votes if Micky Mouse and Donald Duck show up to vote for the first time. Up until that point there is no effect at all on the election---and no one has been able to prove that that has happened or is happening. Please be sure that you understand the difference between Voting Fraud and Voter Registration Fraud. ACORN has not fraudulently effected elections. They have helped many people learn about exercising their right to vote. A republican congressman made a joke, on video, today about the republican party''s efforts at voter suppression, which they strongly involve themselves in at every election. That represents an all out effort to win elections by keeping certain groups of people from voting. Another one of their crowd was indicted just yesterday for their efforts at voter suppression in the last election. All Americans should be enraged about that.

If you register some one to vote you must turn in all the application no matter what. If the application seem fraudulent then it most be flagged. Acorn did just thatin most cases. The media is not reporting that it was in fact Acorn who reported the fraud.

what about the thousand whose name was taken off the voter roll why don''''t anyone talk about that.

Acorn flagged a few cards, but there are thousands of cards they have turned in by means of fraud. they try and take the heat off by flagging a few cards.... you really going to believe that they are innocent?

By law they are required to turn in all registrations. I heard a rumor get it a "rumor" that republicans had hired people to make ACORN look foolish by filling out cards for Osama Bin Laden etc. Those stinkin republicans!!! Not happy with DIEBOLD the makers of elec. voting machines promising them the election in 04 they must now be concerned about voter fraud--Oh the exquisite irony :)

Get educated about the situaion then you might understand it.
-There are many instances where Acorn has turned in multiple voter registration cards for the same deceased person at as many as half a dozen different addresses.
-There was a reported situation where there were 1600 registration cards turned in, 6 of which were legit.

The proff is deep and long against Acorn. Obama worked for them, was their attorney, trained their management staff and has paid them over $700,000 in the last 2 years.

If it looks like a duch, walks like a duck and sounds like a duck... you get the point.

CBS should not even be reporting on this. FOX has been covering this non-story and shouting about the unfairness of ACORN daring to register "those people"

What we need to be taking about is not voter registration fraud but voter fraud where the GOP has used intrimidations and had people name taken off the voter roll that is the voter fraud. I people will educate themselves on how the system work we would better understand what happen. If you register some one to vote you must turn in all the application no matter what. If the application seem fraudulent then it most be flagged. Acorn did just thatin most cases. The media is not reporting that it was in fact Acorn who reported the fraud. Not that I am defending Acorn because they should not pay on the number of application register it would eliminate people from registering bogus names like Mickey Mouse. We know that these people want come out to vote because they don''''t exist but what about the thousand whose name was taken off the voter roll why don''''t anyone talk about that.

Agreed. But you are wrong on one thing- ACORN pays by the hour, not the registration. Acorn does have a "quota'' for number of registrations, and that may give some employees an incentive to make up names. However, this is true of ALL voter registration efforts, including Republican ones.

REGISTRATION FRAUD" is not "VOTER FRAUD"

False REGISTRATIONS do NOT result in actual VOTES.

"Mickey Mouse" will NOT show up at the polls to VOTE.
