"That is a totally irrelevant consideration. Absolutely, totally."

No it isn't. While it doesn't make it right, there is a big difference between false registrations that will never result in votes and destroying valid applications that could have resulted in real votes.

"You don't ignore an attempt to commit fraud just because it didn't run its course. "

What are you talking about? Fraud was committed. Against ACORN. It had run its course. The sole purpose was to get paid for work that wasn't done. Which is why ACORN turns in most of those who get caught.
