Use your imagination. That exactly sums up the ACORN crisis. It's purely imaginary. People registered as Micky Mouse are not going to vote without a challange. Any sort of ballot box stuffing could be done just as effectively with real registrations. There is no credible scenario where these types of registrations would lead to more than a couple votes out of the 2 million or so votes that get cast in Harris County. My own name is not usual for this part of the country, and yet a few years ago I started getting phone calls for someone else with the exact name, and when I checked closer there were three of us in this same city. I'm not surprised at all that similar names appear on more than one list. TP

Linda Hill of Woodick street cannot withdraw money from the deceased person's bank account if one existed. Or would she? If not, then what prevents her from doing so? Why go after ACORN and why not go after the system of voting i nstead. I know that in my area, you cannot vote if you do not have a photo ID with the address which matches the address on the rolls. Can you tell us how it is in your area. Can anyone just walk up and vote without any ID?
