I Support ACORN

ldragoon inspired me to do a post on this. The far right are in the midst of a cynical campaign of voter suppression, under the guise of fighting "voter fraud." In the process, they are targeting and slandering ACORN. Here is a video that says it all better than I could:

The McCain team has not explained how registration fraud will result in voter fraud. If Mickey Mouse is registered, again and again, won't that mean that he/it won't actually vote? The problem seems to have been with some recruits who padded registration cards, which will not result in vote fraud, as imaginary people who never existed in the first place cannot vote, as they can't get their non-embodied asses over to a polling place. Names used to bulk up registration cards do not equal actual voters.

That's exactly what is so ridiculous about the voter-fraud claims. There were employees who defrauded ACORN by filling out cards with fictitious names and addresses. ACORN flagged these before turning them over to the Board of Election. And of course, these imaginary people are never going to show up to vote!
