Would a person have enough time to vote 72 times?



Who said it would be the same person voting?

Exactly, you spread the cards around to your partizans, and be sure all are in different districts, and go from district to district voting. Very simple.

now we are getting someplace.  although it's too late to help john mccain, perhaps it will help Sarah Palin in 2012.  that is,
if (hypothetically speaking) it doesn't get swept under the rug by the Obama Administration.

Officials: FBI investigates ACORN for voter fraud

WASHINGTON (AP) - The FBI is investigating whether the community activist group ACORN helped foster voter registration fraud around the nation before the presidential election.

A senior law enforcement official confirmed the investigation to The Associated Press on Thursday. A second senior law enforcement official says the FBI was looking at results of recent raids on ACORN offices in several states for any evidence of a coordinated national scam.

Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity because regulatons forbid discussing ongoing investigations particularly so close to an election.

ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, says it has registered 1.3 million young people, minorities and poor and working-class voters—most of whom tend to be Democrats.

That same day register and vote crap that went on in Ohio was ridiculous and set the stage for fraud.

this is almost de facto a RICO investigation.

Finally - its a bit late, but we can hope for a backlash now that it seems ACORN is on the edge of a RICO investigation and ACORN  has become 'newsworthy' (grudgingly by most of the MSM, but its better than nothing.)

This is one of the areas that I talked about that should be tighter with registrations. Make people drag their lazy asses to register to vote and present proof of who they are. Why should the rest of us worry about you being disenfranchised if voting is so unimportant to someone that they have to be hounded outside of a Goodwill by ACORN to be registered to begin with? If it matters that much, then get your happy ass to a registration office and get on with it. I never understood the willy nilly register in the street crap anyway. And surely getting identification should not be an issue if voting is so very important to you that you worry about being disenfranchised to begin with, but let's face it, that was never the issue. It's all a bunch of smoke and mirrors to find ways to fabricate votes. I'll await Michelle Obama's "ashamed to be an American today" speech in reference to ACORN's blatent attempt to DISENFRANCHISE republicans and independents.

frankly, beyond pushing a political ideology, I see no reason for all the voter registration groups.
Go to your town hall.
Present valid ID.
Fill out a one page form. (in Massachusetts its not much bigger than a postcard)
Go home.

Its magic. Taa-freakin'-daa.

And there you have it in a nutshell . It is all about pushing ideology.

Republicans, ACORN battle over Pa. registration drive

HARRISBURG -- Controversy erupted at the state Capitol today between the state Republican Party and a group of community organizers called ACORN over the group's efforts to register 140,000 new voters in Pennsylvania over the past 18 months.

State GOP Chairman Bob Gleason and former Republican state Supreme Court Justice Sandra Newman charged that ACORN has tried to "fraudulently'' register many voters so they can vote for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama on Nov. 4.

They claimed that ACORN has close ties to Mr. Obama from his days as a community organizer in Chicago and said he's helped the group get funding for get-out-the-vote efforts in the past.

ACORN officials Ali Kronley, Krista Holub and others strongly denied making any effort to register new voters by using fake names and addresses. Ms. Holub said critics of ACORN are using "voter suppression'' efforts to hold down the vote on Nov. 4 of poorer people and those "of color,'' including African Americans and Latinos.

"We believe everyone should have a say in elections, not just the wealthy and well-connected,'' said Olivia Dorsey, an ACORN organizer from Philadelphia. She said she's proud of her part in registering 140,000 new voters in Pennsylvania, part of the 1.3 million new voters ACORN has registered nationwide.

Mr. Gleason said he is filing a lawsuit today against the state Department of State and ACORN aimed at "ensuring a fair election.''
