"Then we wouldn't have Acorn et. al.) fraudently voting."

ACORN didn't "fraudulently vote." ACORN was running a voter-registration drive, and *some* of the people they hired for the purpose submitted fraudulent lists rather than actually go out and do the work for which they were paid.

In accordance with the law, which says that registration forms must be submitted no matter what, ACORN fired the fraudulent idiots and submitted the registration forms, but flagged them for the Secretary of State's attention as probably invalid.

So the *TRUTH* of the matter is that they ran a voter-registration drive (a good thing), followed the law (a good thing), fired miscreants (a good thing) and advised the Secretary's office of possible problems with the forms (a good thing).

This can only translate to "ACORN fraudulently voting" in the mind of someone who is more interested in partisan politics than the truth.

Your call...

More voting malfunctions!

Several states permit early voting. PA does not! Is there any reson why not? How do we get this though to be reality?

Mail from candidates comes for people who are deceased or previous dwellers. With all the technology at our fingertips, it seems incongruent that mailings between State Death certificate, Social Security, and Voter REgistration lists could not be better coordinated. Then we wouldn't have Acorn et. al.) fraudently voting.

Thank you!
