MORE ACORN

12:40am
I have to reiterate things sometimes, and now, it's about the ACORN deal, AGAIN.
I know TPM is very liberal, but still; it's bottom line information, that is not, not not gettign mentioned. CNN, who is usually very good; has been the worst culprit here; being extremely misleading. ACORN is an organization that gets their money from grants, etc. So they have a vested interest in meeting their "quotas". They are operating, often, in inner city neighborhoods, and relying on "volunteers" or people they pay based on performance. So is there a massive left wing conspiracy to rig an election through ACORN? Um, I'm going to say not likely, because if you register Kentucky Fried Chicken at 123 Sesame Street, Anytown, USA, then I'm doubtful KFC's showin' up to vote. It has been stated repeatedly that this is massive voter REGISTRATION fraud, NOT VOTER fraud. Those are very different. Historically, there has been no evidence of ACORN related mass voter fraud, in any election. These are, usually, very low income people out signing people up to get paid. It's unfortunate that it gets turned it to this massive Obama conspiracy.
From the link:

"That's not because ACORN hasn't submitted hundreds or even thousands of fraudulent registration forms in several crucial swing states. They have -- though it's worth noting again that in many states, they're required by law to submit any forms their canvassers collect.

But to reiterate the main point: according to experts, fraudulent registration forms almost never lead to lead to fraudulent voting. If ACORN submits a form with the name Mickey Mouse, Mickey is unlikely to show up to vote on election day.

In other words, there's a crucial distinction between voter registration fraud and voter fraud -- and there's essentially no evidence whatsoever of the latter."
