Voter Fraud “Acorn” are Angels Compared to Republicans RNC

"If You Want To Win An Election, Just Control The Voting
Machines" 
2003

Maybe Nebraska Republican Chuck Hagel honestly won two US
Senate elections. Maybe it's true that the citizens of Georgia
simply decided that incumbent Democratic Senator Max Cleland,
a wildly popular war veteran who lost three limbs in Vietnam,
was, as his successful Republican challenger suggested in his
campaign ads, too unpatriotic to remain in the Senate. Maybe
George W. Bush, Alabama's new Republican governor Bob Riley,
and a small but congressionally decisive handful of other
long-shot Republican candidates really did win those states
where conventional wisdom and straw polls showed them losing
in the last few election cycles.

1. ACORN has no documented case of voter fraud.

They've been accused of registration fraud which is actually fraud committed against ACORN. They pay for registration lists, but the collectors will salt these lists with bogus names/addresses. Since the lists are turned in and validated by the state/local election officials, there's no real chance for fraud to occur. By law, ACORN must submit all registrations collected, even those that are known fraudulent. It is a projected smokescreen by Republicans who have history of caging votes and denying citizens their right to vote.

2. Okay, we know this. BUT!

Republicans continue to tell followers that ACORN caused the housing/mortgage meltdown, ACORN is under indictment in several states and voter fraud is why Obama won the election. These lies are never countered in the media anywhere that I have heard. It is fine that we know the truth about ACORN but the public has a very negative impression of ACORN due to this misinformation campaign.

3. very true. I was just reacting to the OP

I can't do much about how the media frames ACORN's activities, but we shouldn't buy into that framing here.
