Balanced Electorate means everyone votes for the same guy ala SADDAM Hussein. In ACORN’S case, that would B. Hussein Obama.

ACORN isn’t about representing the people, they are about stealing elections for their “chosen one”. Again in this case, B. Hussein Obama.

“There has never been a single reported instance in which bogus registration forms have led to anyone voting improperly.”

Oh no?: http://www.nypost.com/seven/10142008/news/politics/bogus_voter_booted_amid_probe_of_acorn_133540.htm

These people just unwittingly reminded everyone as to what they have been doing, and this time they won’t have that pansy ass Al Rodriguez to protect them.

Acorn WANTS this dustup. Agitate. Agitate. Agitate. The Democrat Party has been commandeered by their Bolshevik wing.

This Press Release is the “IN-YOUR-FACE” answer to the charges that ACORN employs and have been successful. This strategy resembles one employed by terrorists.

Facts are the conclusion by a third party.

The facts as claimed by ACORN are answers to question raised.

This is unbelievable!

Who the frack do these morons think they are fooling.

The perception of disenfranchisement is exceptionally strong in the Black community and is a huge motivating factor in GOTV efforts. ACORN needs to be taken down in one fell prosecutorial swoop, because if they aren't they're just going to get stronger by using the victim/disenfranchisee card to stampede support in their direction.

It's just taking the old saying that if you are going to take a shot at the king, you gotta make sure to kill him, and applying it to RICO enforcement.

The talking point is that none of these people who registered have voted yet. Therefore, it’s not fraud. They repeat this no matter what the question.

Just like when Obama followers are asked about Ayers or ACORN the response is always “That’s not what the American people want to talk about.” Just once I wish a reporter would say, “But this is my microphone and it’s what I want to talk about so answer the damned question!”

“Balanced electorate” means an appropriate ratios (10:1 minimum) of thugs and welfare queens to people who work.

IE, “let’s put all ‘our’ money in a hat and split it”.

It's not camouflaging voter suppression, it's to keep cartoon characters and people who aren't supposed to vote from voting. I'm sick and tired of people insinuating that upholding the law is racist.

Dunno about fraud, but in PA it damned sure IS perjury.

Geez, where to start...

Any large department store will have some workers who shoplift ...True, but that doesn't make it "OK". And, the workers who do shoplift and are caught, are fired. Where are the fired ACORN workers?

It is simply to defraud their employer, ACORN, by getting a paycheck without earning it. ...I have no problem with blaming the victim here. When you have a policy that encourages your workers to defraud you, then you change the policy. And the workers.

we spend millions of dollars verifying that forms are valid, and then separate out those that are suspicious. ....Great news, here. I'm sure that they'll be providing America with a list of incidents, and a list of forms that were separated out. Right? And, they'll provide a list of people (now fired) that turned in bogus documents.

When a department store calls the police to report a shoplifting employee, no one says the department store is guilty of consumer fraud. ...Strawman argument.

Bradley Schlozman, who did politicize prosecutions against former ACORN canvassers, was forced to acknowledge under cross examination by the Senate Judiciary Committee that ACORN was the victim of fraud by its employees and ACORN had caught the employees and had identified them to law enforcement. ...Well, then, I'm sure that there's a list of court cases where the fraudulent employees were successfully prosecuted, or are currently under indictment. Let's see it.

HERE'S THE BIGGIE...Fact: Our canvassers are paid by the hour, not by the card. ....This "Fact" is directly contradicted by #2 in their post when they said "Any large voter registration operation will have a small percentage of workers who turn in bogus registration forms, Their goal clearly is not to cast a fraudulent vote. It is simply to defraud their employer, ACORN, by getting a paycheck without earning it. .....if employees are "paid by the hour and not by the card" how can ACORN be defrauded by bogus registration forms?

And so forth. I'm getting tired of typing.

Every election cycle, the left claims voter suppression, but I never hear of anyone getting arrested for it.

If it's happening, arrest them. It's not like they wouldn't, the ACLU would be all over it.

At least it appears law enforcement is wise to the ACORNs now, but I can't believe the feds aren't after them yet.
