Use your imagination.

That exactly sums up the ACORN crisis. It's purely imaginary.

People registered as Micky Mouse are not going to vote without a challange. Any sort of ballot box stuffing could be done just as effectively with real registrations.

There is no credible scenario where these types of registrations would lead to more than a couple votes out of the 2 million or so votes that get cast in Harris County.

My own name is not usual for this part of the country, and yet a few years ago I started getting phone calls for someone else with the exact name, and when I checked closer there were three of us in this same city. I'm not surprised at all that similar names appear on more than one list.
