CJ, > It has been explained to you the reasons this happens. It is structural. What structural changes can they make to prevent it from happening? I'm not sure what structural changes they ought to make. But ACORN does have a fundamental conflict-of-interest arising from their mission to register poor and minority voters, namely their refusal to seek any sort of documentation as proof of identity. So now what? Simply toss out voter registration enforcement and just look the other way? Just convince yourself that it can't be more than 10% of ACORN's registrations that are fraudulent? When all you care about is votes for your side, it's all too easy to let this stuff just slide. > The Republican party has targeted ACORN and other groups as part of their plan to make sure the "wrong" voters don't vote. This has even been articulated by Republican officials. So, it is likely more of a political thing rather than racism, it has the same net effect. I never denied that politics is the biggest motivator for the Republicans to go after ACORN, but your statement here is the precursor to playing the race card. Coincidence is proof of racism. Right. The same shit Barney Frank and Harry Reid tried to pull in absolving their allies from any blame in the financial crisis. Unbelievable. Tenchusatsu
