The AP on ACORN accusations by McCain

[funeralcrasher]

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.

ACORN turned the violators in themselves. ACORN as an organization did not participate in these activities. Nobody has been arrested, no votes were cast under the wrong names.

On the other hand, two days ago a GOP businessman was arrested and charged with voter fraud for changing D's to R's on cast ballots. I guess that is OK since it was beneficial to Republicans.
