		<description>John-boy, whatever you are smoking, share.  That is possibly the stupidest comment I have read on any blog.  No one needs to discredit ACORN; ACORN is doing a bang-up job all by its lonesome.

I remember registering to vote when I turned 18 and it didn't take some damn-fool community organizers to get me to do it.  Anyone who cannot manage to register, or to find a person to help him if he is disabled, without help from a "community organizer" does not deserve to vote.  Who in hell made the young and poor and disenfranchised so mind-numbingly stupid that they can't manage this on their own.  Mother of pearl, you don't even have to go somewhere past your neighborhood library where I live.  Most likely you don't even have to know how to read.  If you can't fill out the form, the librarian will do it for you.  If you can't read the ballot, someone will help you.

If John can vote, with his stupidity and paranoia, then it's definitely time for a test to qualify for a ballot.</description>

		<description>Could you be any more wrong?

I've never had to show as much as a Kelloggs decoder ring, much less an ID, before I've voted.  Ever.  Whenever such an idea is suggested, in fact, it gets shouted down as, I don't know, racist (how convenient), anti-immigrant, whatever.  Are you saying 1.3+ million ACORN registrants (that's this year alone) will somehow magically be flagged and required to do so?  Isn't there an equal protection cause in the Constitution somewhere?  I coulda sworn there was.

What if the goal of the bogus registrations is chaos on election day?  What happens to all the blank ballots for Mickey Mouse and Ebeneezer Scrooge?  Can you be certain they won't be magically cast?

But what are we arguing about?  This is fraud.  F-R-A-U-D.  ACORN can explain all they want from prison.</description>

		<description>When a voter shows up to vote who has been registered by ACORN, they have to provide a substantial amount of ID. So the effects of these alleged bogus registrations on the election would be inconsequential. The good that ACORN does in getting the young, disenfranchised and poor to have a voice in our elections far outweighs these kinds of local scandals, which have probably been perpetrated by someone who is trying to discredit that organization. We all remember "dirty tricks" don't we?</description>
