Nearly a quarter of John McCain’s “Clean Election and Voter Fraud Committee,” chaired by Warren Rudman and John Danforth, have been involved in GOP voter suppression efforts or unfounded partisan claims of voter fraud. Of the 21 members of the committee, five have been engaging in these shady efforts.

Confirmed or alleged? Voter fraud works both ways you know. Appparently Acorn in vegas registered Tony Romo and Terrel Owens recently.
1It does work both ways -- apparently.
2Voter fraud scares me. I always wonder once I cast my vote if it really makes it anywhere. And all that business with those stupid hanging chads. I agree something's gotta be done to regulate and make sure fraud doesn't happen. Someone enlighten me on Acorn: I know it is (was?) a system to get people registered to vote - but that's just registration, right? They still need to come in and show ID to vote like everyone else, right?
3ACORN is under investigation in Ohio, Colorado, Missouri, Washington, Michigan, and Nevada. The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review is also reporting that the Obama campaign has been forced to amend a report to reflect over $800,000 of previously unreported ACORN donations to his campaign. They have ranged from using celebrities like Romo and Owens to making up ludicrous ones like, Fruto Boy Crispila.
4And the worst part is that they are tax payer funded.
5"In 2006, ACORN also committed what Washington Secretary of State Sam Reed called the "worse case of election fraud" in the state's history.
In the case, ACORN submitted just over 1,800 new voter registration forms, and all but six of the 1,800 names were fake.
More recently, 27,000 registrations handled by the group from January to July 2008 "went into limbo because they were incomplete, inaccurate, or fraudulent," said James Terry, chief public advocate at the Consumers Rights League."
6ACORN is an organization that helps people find jobs and does good for low income families. Here is what their website says:
ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, is the nation's largest community organization of low- and moderate-income families, working together for social justice and stronger communities.
7It does look pretty bad I must say.
8This is all stupid -- because you go to the polls you have to show your ID -- no ID -- no vote.
ACORN is in the wrong if it's discoveded that they did tamper with registration -- but what does that have to do with Obama?????? They have been registering people on their own -- they don't need ACORN.
Obama was their lawyer -- once -- he represented them once.
And GUESS WHAT.........I'm still voting for Obama!
9Whoever turns up at the polls with ID will get to vote.
10Problem solved!
11They just want to make this a big deal -- because they have nothing else.
12Bingo. Speaking of bingo, I don't have my card for tonight's debate!
