Why are Republicans demonizing ACORN for getting Americans in record numbers registered to vote?

Is it because the registration boom this election year favors Obama and not McCain?

    YES

    The repugs are doing anything they can to STOP democrats from registering and voting.

    The repugs are stopping people from voting because they are removed from the lists - how?

    Most common reason is that they have no permanent address (house in foreclosure so they were evicted) and of course anyone with a prison record is automatically scrubbed from the lists.

    Will Obama and the Democrats thieve the 2008 election utilising voter fraud? John Fund, a Wall highway magazine columnist and Fox information analyst, warns of that very genuine danger. Butterfly ballots, balky machines, absentee pollscandals, felons balloting, spectacular court docket intervention — those variety of made headlines in the process the infamous 2000 Florida recount. ought to it happen returned in this 3 hundred and sixty 5 days's presidential election? the respond is certain, because of the fact not lots has replaced to strengthen our election structures, at the same time as the two significant events are poised on a hair set off to report court docket circumstances and undertaking any close statewide vote. the topics would boil all the way down to whether the margin of victory in any state exceeds the "margin of litigation." John Fund delivers a guided excursion of our errors-vendors election structures, which almost 0.5 of people say they don't have confidence. while some states have structures so incorrect which you won't be able to tell the place incompetence ends and feasible fraud starts off, this is not staggering that scandals have ranged from rural Texas to important cities which includes Milwaukee and St. Louis. Fund dissects some anomalies of Florida 2000 and analyzes the bitterly protracted election for governor of Washington State in 2004. He spotlights the perils of "provisional ballots," the flaws of the "Motor Voter" regulation that has allowed people to get absentee ballots for phantom electorate, and the shady registration drives of the novel team ACORN, a team with close ties to Barack Obama. meanwhile, the straightforward take care of of a image identity requirement is fiercely resisted on specious claims that it may disenfranchise undesirable and minority electorate.

  • No. It is because their efforts are corrupt and nothing more than massive voter fraud. To ignore this full scale criminal conspiracy is something that Obama and his minions are pushing for.

    The last thing Democrats want is a fair election and ACORN is proof of that. The Democrat party has been behind every election fraud since 1792.

    ACORN may have committed voter registration fraud... NOT THE SAME AS VOTER FRAUD. Can't exactly be voter fraud because the elections haven't occurred yet. To answer your question, it's just another strategy to associate Obama's name with illegal doings, shady business, etc. It's another of those character smears McCain is so fond of.

    Because in 12 states, they have been registering people who don't exist, who are not living in the state, who are pro football players (in the wrong state) and some folks who aren't even human (pets)!

    Why is voter fraud so condemned when you think Republicans are doing it (with no evidence, of course), but when Democrats are doing it, you are fine with it? Have you no respect for the process?

    Because they are committing voter fraud and encouraging fraudulent registrations, while also strong-arming people to vote for Obama using US tax-payer money. It's a criminal organization, that's why.

    True.

    Granted, the practices of some ACORN branches do need to be reviewed. There have been legitimate concerns raised.

    Wow! Under a rock or asleep at the wheel? Ignoring all the headlines of voter fraud and raids on ACORN? Too many to list and way too much proof to even start.
