The ACORN case — what Secretary of State Sam Reed called "the largest case of voter-registration fraud in the state's history" — has resulted in a settlement that looks at first like a slap on the hand. It is more than that when the details are examined. ACORN has done things similar in other states, and it needs to be cleaned up or shut down.
ACORN is an acronym for the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, a group that promotes left-wing and progressive causes. Its aim clearly is to change the outcome of elections. The effort here, apparently, was lower and sleazier than that: A group of employees tried to keep their $8-an-hour jobs without doing the work. Their task was to go into the community, find eligible citizens and help them fill out voter-registration cards. What they actually did was go to the library, or sit at home, and fill out hundreds of voter-registration cards with names like Tom Tancredo, Dennis Hastert, Fruito Boy Crispila and Leon Spinks, usually giving the addresses of homeless shelters.
All this was supposed to fool elections workers. It didn't.

The article notes that this kind of fraud may well have been perpetrated in other states also. I believe there needs to be a major investigation immediately.

#2 - Thu Aug 2, 2007 5:04 PM EDTOne other thing...I notice that they do not say it was the largest voter fraud in the Nation's History. That, of course, would have been the selection of George W. Bush.
The reason Dems are not raising the issue, which should be common ground for all of us, is that all the complaints for the last 6 years have fallen on deaf ears.
Maybe we should have France or England or Israel or the Philippines monitor our elections, you know, a democracy with a system of voting that currently works better than ours.

LOL, thank you.

Inaccurate/sour grapes. A legal election that Bush won and Al Gore tried to steal, thereby poisoning the waters politically and dividing the nation in ways not seen since the Civil War.

People dissatisfied with the American system of government are always free to live in other nations. I hear Venezuela is quite the model of peace and prosperity these days, LOL.
