re: #897 austin_blue

You seem to be saying that ACORN was responsible for Franken’s win. Any link to that? And ACORN is worth billions? Really? Most community organizers I know of work for something just above minimum wage (which is what got ACORN in trouble in the first place on its voter registration drives). Don’t get me wrong, I think the collection of voter names by ACORN was atrocious, but the fact is that the Registrars in the various States caught the bullshit. There is no hard evidence that ACORN’s actions resulted in widespread voter fraud.

I’m thinking the feds gave them a few billion to operate with the mega spending bill this spring…I’m not saying or even implying ACORN had anything to do with Franken…ACORN is dirty, it’s a bad idea and part of the larger problem….there can be a better way to get voters ID’d and registered
