ACORN registers a bunch of bodies in New York. ACORN sends you a list of say 20 of those bodies containing their names and polling places they are registered to vote in. Except if say, ACORN gave the registration boards forms for 800,000 people (which is what they did for the Obama campaign, I believe) and didn't flag any (which isn't the way it works) and, say, 40,000 were fradulent (there's no way that the registration boards would ever continue to accept ACORN's forms after 30 years if the percentage were any higher), you'd assume that the registration board would probably catch at least 90% of the false ones, leaving about 4,000 left over, being that that's their actual job. Then, ACORN would have to be able to find out which 4,000 were left over (did they use 40,000 separate PO boxes?) and then find 200 people willing to commit 20 felonies in a single day for like a hundred bucks and send them with a list of their aliases and precincts, with no real way to know whether or not said people actually voted. Assuming half of those people don't actually do their jobs (not a big leap given that they're willing to commit 20 felonies for $100), and that on average the ones that do do their jobs accomplish 75% of what they're supposed to, you're talking 1,500 votes, nationwide. Seems like an awful lot of work and money for 1,500 votes, no? And to get even to that number, you have to assume that most voter registration boards suck at their jobs... Would all of that money and time accomplish a lot more devoted to a few more ads? Do you have a simpler way? >How would God feel about you supporting voter fraud? Whatever, Steve. -Z
