The AP on ACORN accusations by McCain

McCain is correct that at least a handful of ACORN canvassers are currently being investigated across the country by local officials on suspicion of submitting false registration cards, some with names like "Mickey Mouse" or "Donald Duck."

But in alleging voter fraud, McCain goes too far. To commit fraud, a person would have to show up on Election Day with identification bearing the fake name.

They also hardly ever mention that ACRON has turned in these people themselves.

I'm sure ACORN has a perfectly reasonable explanation for why they're stuffing the registrations, and I'm sure they'll explain themselves real soon now.

McSame's accusations against ACORN. Tempest in a teapot.
