Does anyone have the details about how many people were illegally registered

[rhett o rick]

via ACORN? I think the number is probably small and statistically negligible. Here is my argument against ACORN being a factor in a fraudulent election:

1. I think the number of illegally registered voters was negligible compared to total numbers that vote. (would like to know the number)
2. The fraudulent registrations could have been made by either party, no proof that they were Democrats.
3. The fraudulent registrations were discovered and reported by ACORN themselves.
4. There is no way that these fraudulently register voters could have voted or effected an election.
5. This has KKKarl Rove written all over it.

1. zero

Zero people were illegally registered.

False names were found (by ACORN) to have been entered on registration FORMS by lazy canvassers.

5. Ok, thanks for the correction. Do we know how many false names? nm

[bigtree]

9. how many names did the lazy canvassers enter on the forms? Irrelevant.

and a waste of time tracking

15. Either you know or you don't. To me it is not irrelevant. But thanks for responding. nm

2. zero AFAIK

since when ACORN handed in the cards they highlighted those that were problematic. So if any of those were registered after that then they were either verified or the local elections offices are just unable to grasp their job.

3. None. n/t

4. Should be none. The state is required to verify eligibility of those seeking to become voters.

The state would immediately recognize 'Mickey Mouse', 'Daffy Duck', and other nonsense names. A check of their databases would should duplicates.

6. I appreciate the correction but would still like to know the numbers. I am trying to

show the statistical insignificance even if they got by.

8. The numbers of phony names entered on registration forms are irrelevant

They do not represent anyone illegally registered, per your query. Give it up. The answer is right in front of you.

10. The numbers are relevant. If it was 10,000 it would be more of an issue

than if is was 5. I have been thru this argument before in Washington the state. The repukes have tried to say an election was flawed when a dozen questionable ballots were found. My point is that 6 or 10 fraudulent voter registrations (if there are any) is nothing compared to the 10's of thousands of voters caged or otherwise illegally removed from the lists.

12. an issue about WHAT??

lazy canvassers?

And, again NONE of these names represented 'registrations'. NONE of the names entered on the FORMS managed to materialize into registered voters before ACORN discovered them and highlighted them for authorities.

13. When the local right wing columnists write about how ACORN is helping the

Democrats steal the election, and they will, I want facts to blast them out of the water. They will imply that these false registration applications is a major problem. I want to nail them with facts. My guess is that this "tempest" is about less than a dozen registration applications. One of my arguments is that the number is statistically insignificant, especially compared to the tens of thousands caged or otherwise removed from voter registration roles. Humor me plez.

7. None. Acorn reviews and alerts before handing them in.

11. Has Ann Coulter been prosecuted yet for her illegal voter registration?

I didn't think so. :shrug: :eyes:

[cynatnite]

14. none. They are not registered once it's discovered they're not legit. n/t
