ACORN is being used to deny THOUSANDS of people the right to vote!

Rethugs are making up bullshit stories about how ACORN is engaging in widespread voter fraud. They want to accomplish two things - prevent ACORN from registering any new voters, and to disenfranchise the voters they've already registered. Already they're sifting through ACORN voter registration files to see how many they can toss out.

This is an outrage.

10. I just heard this being done in Ohio, VA and another state
   
I didn't quite catch. This is not good news. I hope they don't find may fraudulent ones because this could make us look really bad.

13. I'm sure there are a very small number of bogus ones
   
It wouldn't surprise me if there were a few over-zealous volunteers who created bogus registrations, as happens with both political parties. However, for the rethugs to use a few isolated incidents and claim that it's a systematic effort by ACORN is bogus. The rethugs are going to latch onto those few bogus registrations and use that as an excuse to attempt to deny ALL registrations done by ACORN.

How many times and in how many states can Alfred E. Newman vote?

As many as it takes to elect the O'bamalama.

Secretary of State Ross Miller said the fraudulent registrations included  forms for the starting lineup of the Dallas Cowboys football team.

"Tony Romo is not registered to vote in the state of Nevada, and anybody trying to pose as Terrell Owens won't be able to cast a ballot on Nov. 4," Miller said.

I wonder if they intuitively suspect the ACORN scandal is going to be getting much worse before it gets better and they're seeding their talking points.

This shit of going out and dragging people in to register needs to stop.  If people want to vote they can go vote.  We don't need to be dragging them out from under bridges or anywhere else.

***disclaimer***

If someone desires to vote and has no way to get there I see no problem with getting them there but to promise them bottles of Thunderbird wine to climb in a van and 'vote' for your guy is total shit.

Im sure that it will be proven one way or the other. The states that seem to be affected are sifting through all new registrations. The forms are serialized, and it is recorded as to what registration operation each form was handed off to. As so far, the lions share of bogus forms have all traced back to the ones given to ACORN.

Rush is starting in a few minutes.  I would expect he'll discuss ACORN but also the Rezko stuff.

Even when ACORN is found to be perpetrating vote fraud (and you know they will) the libs are going to be screaming, DISENFRANCHISMENT, from the roof tops.

How in the hell you can disenfranchise someone who doesn't exist is beyond me but you know that where they will go.

Because as always with the Libs it's not the actual charge that matters...just the seriousness of the accusation.

I just looked at the AP political headlines, nothing there but a story about Todd Palin having access to Sarah's staff. (She has plenty of access to his I'm sure.  :-) )  Nothing on Yahoo top stories either.  :(

Just a flight of fancy but...

..could you imagine Obama squeaking through to a victory only to end up unable to serve because ACORN and Rezko blow-up in his face. Biden would then get the job but being such an idiot and tarnished by Obama he has a knockdown drag-out fight with the senate over a replacement VP. But because the dems are too bogged down to oppose a numerically diminished but politically resurgent GOP that has nonetheless succeeded in hanging the ACORN/Obama/Fannie Mae albatross around their gout-ridden necks.

One thing that all this has achieved is that google news now shows a whole heap of bad press for ACORN in its first few results.  The MSM will be ruing its decision to ignore the issue.
