McCain's Old Voter-Fraud Saw ( Left Angeles Times makes excuses for ACORN )

John McCain committed a malicious misrepresentation in the last presidential debate when he claimed that ACORN, the liberal activist group, "is now on the verge of maybe perpetrating one of the greatest frauds in voter history in this country, maybe destroying the fabric of democracy."

As ACORN acknowledges, it has collected voter registration forms with bogus signatures. But even when they aren't winnowed out by election officials, transparently invalid registrations don't lead to fraudulent voting. Even the most lax poll worker wouldn't allow "Mickey Mouse" or "John Q. Public" to cast a ballot.

It does when you have same day voting like Ohio! Does anyone really read this paper any more?

[kellynla]

If it weren’t for the sports section, I wouldn’t even read it online...but it’s the Liberal “bible” out here on the Left Coast. LOL

I wouldn’t have even noticed this article had not Real Clear Politics posted it.

Exactly. It's frightening when someone who reads FR once a month can know way more than reporters in a major rag.

Yeah, it’s all in our minds, right?

So True!

FTA:

Democrats emphasize increasing the number of voters, particularly the poor and minorities, and too easily dismiss the possibility of fraud.

OMG, these fools have never been to DU, MoveOn.org or DailyKos, have they? Every third thread there is about Republican vote fraud, even while they're the ones actually doing it.
