>>Why does Acorn round up fraudulent voter registrations then? There must be some reason for it. Acorn has no business taking tax payer dollars for their activities. << MM - Just FYI, ACORN does not get any federal funding for its voter registration efforts, nor indeed for most of the various things it does. There is one organization that is an offshoot of ACORN that gets federal funding. It deals with affordable housing for the poor. As for why they round up the fraudulent registrations, they do that because they are legally required to submit every registration application they receive. They flag the ones that they believe are suspect, to ensure that they get extra scrutiny from the Election Boards which actually have the power to disqualify an application. - Allen
