All You Need to Know About ACORN

1. The Republicans know John McCain is going to lose.
2. They know the media isn't smart enough to distinguish between voter REGISTRATION fraud and voter fraud. People who register as Mickey Mouse are not showing up at the polls.
3. They know they must delegitimize Obama's victory, so they blame ACORN, who is actually flagging the fraudulent registrations before turning them in, and who, by law can't destroy any that they know to be fraudulent, lest they destroy some poor young Republican's legitimate voter registration form.

Please use this information when your crazy relatives, friends, or co-workers start talking about how they were robbed by ACORN (even before we've actually voted).

Gawker sums it up well.

What we're dealing with so far is minor voter registration fraud. The questionable registrations number in the double digits in most states, and most of them have been flagged and caught by either ACORN themselves or election officials. Furthermore in many places the false registrations are required by law to be submitted anyway, so that ACORN isn't guilty of, say, tossing out the forms of Republicans they sign up. They do try to flag the fake ones as fake, but regardless, the fake ones are still being caught. Also: voter registration fraud does not coherently lead to voter fraud, because if you register one man 75 times, how will he vote 75 times, exactly?

More importantly, the election can't be stolen if it hasn't happened yet, and voter registration fraud does not explain in any way a double digit lead for a candidate in national tracking polls. Like, wtf, how are you making this argument, are you slow? ACORN registering Mickey Mouse is why Barack Obama is up 12 in Pennsylvania? Ok, sure, whatever you say.

Let me repeat. The questionable registration numbers in the DOUBLE DIGITS in most states. Desperation anyone?

If that doesn't shut the crazies up, show them this.
