Good, you are saying thaty ACORN is definitely
aware of the problem and has done nothing to stop it.

Nonsense. The workers involved were fired.


only after they were publicly outed, many months after
acorn knew about the problem.

ACORN found the problems and fired a dozen workers, Castore said. Five
of them appeared to be working together, she added.

But under state law, all of the voter registration cards collected had
to be turned in to the election commission, even if they were clearly
fraudulent or incomplete, Edman said. ACORN sent in all the cards its
workers had submitted, but flagged the fraudulent or incomplete ones.

I don't know what you're talking about.


But don't let the facts get in the way of your fun with words.

there are other organizations that are signing up voters,
and they don't have these problems, ACORN has them,
persistenly and in multiple states.

That's because they're persistent and in multiple states. You haven't
shown real evidence the problem is better or worse than found in other
organizations or that real harm is done.

Allegations of fraud (2008)

<snip>

Much ado about nothing. Is that seven-year-old from Connecticut going to
show up at the polls? I like all the 'discoveries' of items flagged as
suspicious by the registering organizations.

Your list, even taken at face value, shows isolated cases that come with
the territory when workers are paid by the registration card.

Hmm. There *has* been an arrest connected to serious allegations:

http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-fraud20-2008oct20,0,3842357.story

The owner of a firm that the California Republican Party hired to
register tens of thousands of voters this year was arrested in Ontario
over the weekend on suspicion of voter registration fraud.

State and local investigators allege that Mark Jacoby fraudulently
registered himself to vote at a childhood California address where he no
longer lives so he would appear to meet the legal requirement that all
signature gatherers be eligible to vote in California. His firm, Young
Political Majors, or YPM, collects petition signatures and registers
voters in California and other states.

Jacoby's arrest by state investigators and the Ontario Police Department
late Saturday came after dozens of voters said they were duped into
registering as Republicans by people employed by YPM. The voters said
YPM workers tricked them by saying they were signing a petition to
toughen penalties against child molesters.

The firm was paid $7 to $12 for every Californian it registered as a
member of the GOP.
