Two suspicious Seminole County voter registration cards became a flash point Wednesday in the Republican effort to suggest the community group ACORN is committing fraud in its historic Florida get-out-the vote efforts.
An ACORN spokesman said the group spotted what appeared to be forged registration cards weeks ago and fired a worker over them. But the Republican National Committee blasted the housing and wage advocacy group in a nationwide conference call with reporters, saying it wasn't an isolated incident.
ACORN, or the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, has become a force in the Florida race, signing up 135,000 new Florida voters since January in just three counties: Miami-Dade, Broward and Orange.
That's a fifth of all new voters. More than 58 percent are Democrats, who now outnumber Republicans by almost 500,000 voters -- providing Barack Obama a potentially crucial edge in the neck-and-neck race in Florida.
