#1 Actually, I don't care if they sign up imaginary voters. Registering to vote is not the same as actually voting. If those imaginary people actually try to vote, that's a problem.

#2 There is an important distinction to be drawn between ACORN's voter registration efforts, which we commend,..

Sorta of ignores that the AG (D) of Nevada is engaged in a full blown investigation and prosecution of ACORN for voter registration fraud. Then again, this is the LAT.

#3 It's a lot harder for fictional voters to vote if they haven't registered. Defrauding only part of the electoral process is still a pretty damning crime in my eyes. When the voters no longer have confidence in the fairness of the outcomes of elections, we're on the verge of very serious problems. And I think we're getting close.

#4 The system may be a tad flawed when you consider that about half of the 9/11 hijackers were actually able to register to vote in Virginia and Florida.

#5 That 1-out-of-3 rate is on a par with all registration efforts for first-time voters -- and not necessarily through the fault of those doing the work.

OK...

1) I don't believe it.

2) It's no excuse even if it is true.

3) Why do we need groups like ACORN to help voters register anyway? Why can't these people get off their butts and figure out how to do it themselves? Is it, perhaps, because they are too stupid, ignorant and lazy? Is it because they are not legal residents of this country?

Thanks for finally waking up, GOP of California. It took you long enough.

#6 Why can't these people get off their butts and figure out how to do it themselves?

I think a lot of African Americans did, once they realized one of theirs had a chance. Sherri Shepherd is one example. 40 year old black woman (co-host of The View) registered for the first time in her life in order to vote for Obama (she had to ask her co-workers to assist her in this matter). She claims that her religious affiliation (Jehova's Witness) had prevented her in registering prior to 2008, although she had no such compulsions with it in "having more abortions than she could count". I doubt it's a stretch to assume she probably couldn't name the person currently serving as O's VP.

#7 The list of states where ACORN ISN'T being investigated for voter fraud is a lot shorter than the opposite. Anyone "defending" ACORN is probably a crook, or at least friends with them.
