in CNN Blatantly Mis-reports on ACORN on The Washington Independent
Idiots, even if you don't have ID, you have to be registered to begin with, and in most areas you have to sign your signature and have it matched to the rolls on voting day. If you think it's so easy to vote more than once, then why don't you try it? God knows the Republicans are going to need any help they can get come November 4.
Secondly, have any of you fracks been to Las Vegas from mid-April to mid October? It's hotter than a Republican seeing the presidency slipping away. It's not right what the workers did, but I understand why they'd make up names in a cool library instead of earning their pay. What it comes down to is that ACORN has been consistently trying to be above board, informing state officials of discrepancies as soon as they find out, for over a year, yet the Republican officials essentially do nothing until now? Why would ACORN in any shape or form condone any type of fraud when it would only hurt the integrity of their organization? Please spare me your indignation over the fraud.
Keep in mind that this ACORN incident pales in comparison to the actual voter disenfranchisement that happened in Vegas back in 2004 or 2006. I don't remember the particulars, but a company with fairly extensive Republican and conservative ties would register people to vote under the impression of being a non-partisan organization, but then they would take registrations of Democrats and throw them away. These weren't made up people, but actual citizens disenfranchised for partisan power purposes.
Thirdly, most of you would want the baby thrown out with the bath water. Of course you would, because you don't believe in democratic principles of all citizens getting a vote. But I digress. What is more harmful: correcting this "wrong" by invalidating all the registrations of this organization, or disenfranchising thousands and thousands of citizens from voter rolls because a few hundred non-existent people are listed (who will non-existently "vote" come election day)? Keep in mind that people of all parties were registered by this organization--it wasn't a partisan effort. If poor people and minorites happen to lean Democrat, it is only a reflection of inequitable Republican policies.
Finally, you geniuses need to realize you're in the age of computers. It is a lot easier to commit fraud hacking the computer systems of the voting machines than trying to have some conspiracy of registering several hundred non-existent voters. It's the turn of the century, all right, but you're 100 years behind. Americans need to be more worried about practically untraceable system hacking that UC scientists have uncovered and demonstrated. Guess who has deep ties to the companies that deploy the electronic voting systems. Jesus I detest feckless fools with no sense of citizenship and fair play, only caring if their "team" wins (as if all this were just some NFL game, rah rah). You have no integrity.
