"Is Acorn Stealing the Election?"
Power Line — That's the title of this Investors Business Daily editorial: The group's voter-registration fraud is rampant, and authorities plan a nationwide sweep of ACORN offices to collect records. ...

GOP's October 'Surprise' Continues: Coordinated Plan to Wreak Havoc with Bogus 'Voter Fraud' Allegations Hits Ohio...
The BRAD BLOG — The GOP's October "Surprise" continues...Even as it's no surprise at all that they are hoping to cause absolute bedlam at the polls. They are off to a good start, as the Democrats seem to be caught flat-footed, despite years of warnings about all of this. The latest Republican assault on democracy began earlier this week with a stunt raid in (swing state) Nevada, then unsubsatniated allegations in (swing state) Missouri last night (raid coming soon, no doubt), and just hours ago as AP reports, it's (swing state) Ohio... ...

The BRAD BLOG — -- Brad Friedman So where's the "voter fraud"? Fox "News", and it's Rupert Murdoch owned print brethren, the New York Post, continue to bang the GOP's phony ACORN "voter fraud" drum, but as far as I can tell, they've failed to come up with a single incident of any actual voter fraud committed by the dastardly "left-wing extremists".

So, as ...

From Little ACORNS...
Crooks and Liars — It's a mystery, though, how voter registration fraud might turn into actual voter fraud, despite Palin's dark hintings. Brad Friedman, writing in the Guardian, makes the point well and says the whole ACORN kerfuffle is a massive GOP hoax: Here are the facts. Acorn verifies the legitimacy of every registration its canvassers collect. If they can't authenticate the registration, or it's incomplete or questionable in other ways, they flag that form as problematic ("fraudulent", "incomplete", et cetera). They then hand in all registration forms, even the problematic ones, to elections officials, as they are required to do by law. In ...

From Little ACORNs
Newshoggers.com — By Cernig (Crossposted from Crooks and Liars) Accusations of voter fraud by the pro-Obama progressive group ACORN. It's the subject all the rightwing bloggers are going nuts over and now they've been joined in their prosecutory zeal by the Wall Street Journal. But looking closely ...
