>>There is a list of the complaints against ACORN here that seems pretty factual<<
Rambi -
The list appears to be a combination of some factual statements, and some statements that aren't well supported by evidence. In many cases, the number of invalid registrations is very small. In North Carolina, just 100. In Ohio, the New York Post reports that "a Cleveland man" claims to have been given cash and cigarettes to register 72 times.
In other cases, such as the one in Indiana where the election board stopped processing 5,000 forms turned in just before the deadline, after the first 2,100 were clearly phony, there is obviously a real problem.
It looks like ACORN needs to change its hiring practices, and it needs to do a better job of pre-screening registrations.
However, there is still no evidence, as far as I've seen, that anyone has ever intended to vote using these false registrations.
It's also important to remember that while investigations are underway, that doesn't in itself prove that the charges against ACORN are all true.
