Wasn't there a thread on this where many said there was no fraud going on? Take a look at the link below. Acorn admits to voter fraud!!

Read the article again. It basically states that with their resources they cannot guarentee that there will be no fraud...there is no such thing as a perfect process so there will always be some fraud no matter what the process is. They have identified 50 suspicious registrations out of 65,0000.

There is no evidence of wide spread fraud and very little chance that voter fraud could change the election result.

Would it not be fair to say that ACORN has a history of corruption?

James Terry, Chief Public Advocate, Consumers Rights League:
"ACORN routinely says it will clean up its act. Yet, given its decade-long history of voter fraud, embezzlement, and misuses of taxpayer funds, ACORN's pattern of fraud can no longer be dismissed as a series of 'unfortunate events.'

Yes, they caught 50 double names; but how many could be false names or alias'? IE... the case in Colorado right now where they used the Dallas Cowboys starting lineup!!

Do you honestly think people will come to the polls and vote under aliases?

What is much more likely is that ACORN workers or volunteers were given quotas of voters to register and out of laziness made up voter names (or used names they knew) to make their voter registration quota's.

I think it is extremely unlikely there would be large numbers of votes cast because of voter fraud in this manner.

A much more realistic method of voter fraud would be by voting machine tampering in those states that do not have a paper trail and use computerized voting machines.

How many false names or alias' could come from other organizations who register voters? People can write whatever they want on a voter registration form, just because someone chooses to use a false name on a form they got from a particular organization doesn't mean that organization is responsible for someone useing a false name.

50 double names! Out of how many? That doesn't mean it's fraud on Acorn's part.

My own son might show up twice on the rolls. He registered at the Taste of Chicago, but never got a confirmation in the mail. When we went online to check his registration, it didn't show up, so he went to city hall and filled the paper work out again. Doesn't mean he'll vote twice if his name shows up twice.

Bonnie- ACORN has a history of voter fraud. This is a 2006 article from the Wall Street Journal http://www.opinionjournal.com/editor...l?id=110009189 "Acorn workers have been convicted in Wisconsin and Colorado, and investigations are still under way in Ohio, Tennessee and Pennsylvania." Convicted means they were guilty and this is not an isolated event.

I'm glad they were caught, but doesn't our system have some checks in it that will make sure those that registered can vote? I have always been asked for an ID and a signature when I vote. As ccbig stated, the voter fraud is going to be in tampering with the machines and the actual votes. Just registering people to vote doesn't mean they will vote.

Tell me about it, this morning, I woke up and I shit a squirrel, but what I can't get is the damn thing is still alive. So now, I've got a shit covered squirrel running around my office and I don't know what to name it.

No it isn't an isolated event, it isn't even an event. 50 'suspicious' registrations out of 65,000? .0008% of the registrations they turned in were suspicious, what do you think the % of 'suspicious' registrations other groups turn in are?
