For the reasons explained above, I vowed to never poll again, nor will I trust a poll.

Those are the fears with registration fraud. Not to mention out of state residents voting in OH by using a temporary address…this is acctually happening. You might want to read/watch the news every once in a while.

ACORN is definately a dud when it comes to relavant news. I would like to see the person that actually tries to go in and vote as a Mickey Mouse. (Yes, other articles make mention of Mickey Mouse being a fradulantly registered voter!) There is a large gap between registration fraud and the real crime we are worried about of voter fraud.

Headline Reads: “370-165 Obama Wins!”

Educate yourselves on how the GOP deceived you in the last two elections on the Acorn issue. And how A.G. Gonzales fired attorneys because they wouldn’t lie to cover up the GOP’s false claims of voter fraud and voter manipulation in ’04. And yet, the GOP continues this tactic.

I find it hilarious… You people nitpick over NON-FACTS, NON-ISSUES and not the REAL issues… Because, it’s all you have. Because you know McCain is a major failure when it comes to real issues. Or is it you don’t want to talk about your Messiah #2 Palin doing (and being charged by a bi-partisan review) in exactly what she is campaigning against? Some change there.. haha.

Oh….And what is that coming around the corner, you ask?
Obama at the finish line!
Your Neo-Con days of ruining this country are OVER!

But don’t worry, we still love you. We will still give you affordable health care, jobs in this country, and benefits if you are ever down on your luck.

They won’t be taken away from you, like they have been to 95% of Americans currently.. Just this time around, it will be for all – and not just the few rich neo-cons. Nothing to be scared of my neo-con friends.

Please, all my neo-con friends. Take the fancy bed-linen off of your heads, put away your stuffed toy monkeys with Obama stickers on them and go home. A true patriot will soon be in the White House.. Don’t fear him, even your Messiah #1 McCain says he’s an upstanding man:

The fact is ACORN has been a target for the GOP for years because they work to register voters in some of the “not so well off” neighborhoods, and the GOP doesn’t want those people to vote. Some ACORN employees did improper things and they were fired. A couple thousand fraudulent registrations are under investigation, out of 1.3 million! It is sad that these employees have tainted the election process, however, election fraud has gone on with BOTH SIDES for decades. This is not new, and it shouldn’t even be news.

Yes, Senator Obama has a few ties to ACORN…

*In 1995, Mr. Obama was on a team of lawyers that represented ACORN in a lawsuit vs. the state of Illinois to have the state comply with FEDERAL LAWS intended to enhance access to the polls. AND the Justice Department was on the SAME SIDE as ACORN in the lawsuit, as was the League of Women Voters among other organizations. The plantiffs won.

*Senator Obama conducted two LEADERSHIP training sessions, each about an hour, for ACORN in Chicago over a three-year period in the late 1990s. He was not paid for that work.

These fraudulent registrations a pain, not a danger. There are many safeguards in place and IDs are required when people obtain their ballots. County elections boards have some safeguards to weed out faulty registrations.

For example, in Cuyahoga County, Ohio:
- All cards are scanned into a computer so the board has a copy. Originals are kept in storage. Scanning the cards puts the voter’s signature into the computer system and transfers the signature to poll books used for verification on election day.
- The 43 workers in the registration department enter the information on the cards into the board’s computer database.
- Workers put in the date of birth and check to see if the name on the card is already in the system. If the name is there and the signature matches, the record is updated with information from the most recent card. If the name isn’t in the system with that birth date, a new record is created and checked against the statewide database to see if that person is registered elsewhere.
- The board double-checks registrations by comparing information with the databases of the Bureau of Motor Vehicles and Social Security numbers.
- Once the data is entered, the board sends the prospective voter an address confirmation card, which is not to be forwarded to another address. This card, workers say, is a key safeguard against voter fraud.
- If the card is returned as undeliverable, workers put a note next to the voter’s name in the poll books, telling poll workers the person must supply proof that the address listed is correct. Only then would the person be given a regular ballot. Otherwise, THEY HAVE TO VOTE PROVISIONALLY until their information is confirmed.
