>>My mominlaw actually mentioned that man who registered 72 times- she saw an interview or something.

I agree. The process is dysfunctional. Very. I posted that link because I thought it gave a good summary of what people are seeing. These seemed to be actual complaints. The fact they are still under investigation and are all over the map in seriousness, may be just too nuanced. Judging from the voter quotes a few posts ago, nuance is long lost.<<

Rambi -

Not to nitpick, but let us refer to the man who "claims" to have registered 72 times.

For the life of me, I can't imagine why any ACORN employee who was just trying to boost his numbers would need to give cash and cigarettes to some indigent man. Filling out forms using the names from a phone book would seem to be easier. Not that this proves the story isn't true.

But until someone investigates, I'm not going to assume that it is true.

ACORN does have a problem, obviously. But getting from what they've been accused of doing to a conspiracy to rig the election is a huge stretch. Tying that to Obama is an even bigger one.
