Comments on: McCain’s New Strategy: I’ll Lose Because Of Voter Fraud http://donklephant.com/2008/10/15/mccains-new-strategy-ill-lose-because-of-voter-fraud/ Big Teeth. Huge Ass.

Those workers registered 1.3 million valid new voters. In every batch of workers, you will have a few bad apples. Does that justify it? No. But, it's true that ACORN has complied with investigations 100% and every bit of evidence there is against ACORN, ACORN has provided. Voter registration fraud has never been proven to lead to voter fraud. ACORN has been investigated in every election since 2000 in multiple states, and although specific workers (that ACORN turned in for prosecution) have been found guilty, every case against ACORN as a whole in 2004 was dismissed for lack of evidence. As for the "absentee ballots for phony voters sent directly to ACORN workers," if this is the case, they would not be counted. One vote per social security number. You have to have a social security number to process an absentee ballot. And yes, ACORN must by law turn in all ballots, even if they are for mickey mouse.

I guess this is how you run an underdog campaign these days. This is eerily similar to the whispers that Diebold was going to steal the election for Bush in 2004.

(Are you saying it doesn't?) Besides, isn't voter registration fraud a path to vote fraud? I mean there are already reports of absentee ballots for phony voters being sent directly to ACORN workers. They wouldn't have been able to do that without the registration fraud. Feel free to discount McCain's specific concerns...but you could throw a little concern about the disregard for the law being perpetrated by ACORN.

They're legally obligated to submit all of the forms they collect (even Mickey Mouse), and they do a reasonably good job of flagging suspicious registrations for the authorities. As soon as this story started circulating, I started thinking it was intended to cast doubt on the election outcome. From what I’ve heard, there’s not a lack of oversight by ACORN.
