"But I have seen sufficient evidence to suggest that ACORN focuses more on sheer numbers than on the legitimacy of the registrations they get." How so? They check each application up to three times by calling. What do you want? DNA tests?

"racism is a very serious charge, and I really don't like the race card being played so haphazardly," Sure it us. But, here is the problem. It is mostly groups like ACORN who get targeted with these sort of investigations. Despite the fact that there are Republican funded groups that have gotten into hot water over similar fraudulent voter registrations for similar reasons, but don't get targeted. It is only when someone complains that they registered Democrat, in those states who require you identify the state, or their registrations never go through that we hear about it. It you are going to get outraged over voter registration fraud, why not nitpick every group registering voters instead of just those who focus on minorities and the poor? Why are fraudulent Republican registrations ok, but Democratic ones are not?
