For the last fucking time, all ACORN does in elections is register voters, just like the little old ladies you see sitting outside grocery stores around election time doing the same thing. Then they turn in the cards. They have no role in tallying or conducting elections.
Once upon a time, REPUBLICANS were going into black neighborhoods, registering voters, and then destroying the cards instead of turning them in, so that those predominantly Democratic black voters would turn up at the polls on election day, find they had never been registered, and could not vote. Hence, a law had to be passed requiring that all voter registration cards, even obviously fraudulent ones, like Mickey Mouse or Ima Fraud, had to be turned into the Registrar of Voters for them to evaluate and dispose of. ACORN had a couple of people working for them who turned in a number of obviously fraudulent cards to get the per-piece fee. ACORN flagged those cards as questionable, and turned them in to the Registrar, compliant with the law. Lying Republican assholes then twisted that story, like they do everything else, spending months accusing ACORN of crimes they did not commit. The Bush Justice Department spent a fortune in taxpayer money trying to find ACORN guilty of something, but couldn't. In fact, they found that ACORN were themselves the victims of fraud by the workers who bilked them out of the fees for the bad cards. Republicans REALLY hate ACORN because they get out the vote in heavily Democratic minority communities.
The one time Obama worked with ACORN, he was working in conjuntion with the US Justice Department, years before he was elected.
ACORN couldn't have changed the outcome of the election even if they'd wanted to, but Diebold, owned by a Republican who promised in 2004 to "deliver a victory" for Bush and the Republican party with his hacked voting machines, could, and HAS, to the tune of 40,000 Ohio 2004 votes magically switched from Kerry to Bush, and some fixed local races in 2008, among others, that we KNOW about. The Obama landslide was just too big for them to get away with it......THIS time.
