Barack Obama’s campaign prides itself on grassroots organizing, with thousands of staff members targeting numerous subsets of the population for voter registration and persuasion. One even sought to register inmates.
An internal email from the Michigan Department of Corrections in August describes a request from the campaign to enter jails to register those inmates set to be released before Election Day.
An Obama spokesman in Michigan acknowledged that a new organizer made the request, but supervisors nixed the idea as soon as they found out about it. The campaign denied all association with a second request to the Department of Corrections. The emails say that a Theresa Collins, identified as the national coordinator of “Inmates to Support Barack Obama,” asked the prison to post information about how prisoners could make campaign contributions to Obama. That group doesn’t appear to have any Web site.

I think groups like ACORN should be outlawed - if you are too supid or lazy to get yourself down to the county office to register yourself then you don’t deserve to vote.
But didn’t you hear, a lot of these people are intimidated by courthouses.
They did it in 2004. I remember stories of dems picking up people at halfway houses for mentally ill/challenged. The bus driver then either told then how to vote or went in with them to “assist” them.
Gore did it in 2000 as well in Florida. Shameless thugs.
haha funny cartoon :)
