ACORN has also been active in Florida, where they "reregistered" people (that is, made a change to an existing registration, such as changing the party or address). In Tampa, they "reregistered" them as Republicans, in what I think was an attempt to cast suspicion on the GOP and confuse the issue even further. The fact that all the regs were filled out in the same hand and came from ACORN tipped off the election board folks...
Acorn is no flash in the pan. The group got its start 32 years ago in the wake of the 1960s welfare-rights movement in Arkansas.I remember one time, right after the GOP had won back the House in 1994, ACORN crashed some speech by Newt Gingrich...obnoxious as heck!
