The BRAD BLOG —
Please read my column this week at the UK's Guardian on "The Republican Voter Fraud Hoax".
It's a disgrace that these issues are often covered better in Great Britain and even in Russia, than they are in my own country. If you can, please join me in trying to change that.
Nuts and ACORN
The Mahablog —
The other big, bleeping deal on the Right today are allegations that ACORN is perpetrating massive voter fraud all over the country to steal the election for Obama. They’ve been on to this for a while, actually, and it’s easy to see they are setting up ACORN and voter fraud as the excuses for a McCain loss, should he lose. They so love feeling victimized.

And when McCain learned how shady the organization was, he disowned them. But, what Brad is doing is playing games: all the shady registrations haven’t voted yet, so, it is not voter fraud. Case closed! Yet, why are there so many ...

Despite being way in over her ...
A Fraud Perpetrated on Acorn
BlondeSense —
... the FBI will be reviewing those cases. ACORN workers were the ones who discovered the fake forms and flagged them for the local election officials. In every state investigating bad registrations, ACORN tipped off local officials to bogus or incomplete cards, so it isn't the organization that is trying to defraud anyone. Federal law requires that first time voters bring ID when they go to vote for the first time. So will Mickey Mouse actually show up and produce his driver's license? Read why the ACORN issue is a hoax by the GOP. ...
