The Facts: If Donald Duck did in fact register to vote - and by some miracle showed up on the voter rolls, the only way he would be able to vote as a newly registered voter is by showing up on election day and showing valid ID to verify he is who he say he is and lives at the address he lives at. Conducting this kind of "fraud" on a large scale would be impossible.

In Ohio the county is a rich republican leaning county where it is Republicans who are the ones raising the issue

"Greene County Sheriff Gene Fischer and representatives of County Prosecutor Stephen Haller have contacted the local Board of Elections asking for the voter registration cards of everyone who voted during the six-day window, which ended Monday.

Haller is the former law partner of Mike DeWine, the former Republican senator who is chairing presidential nominee John McCain's Ohio campaign." The AP Reports

As with Ohio, the raid on Missouri was also a scam. Read up on the election protection site BradBlog who quotes the ACORN midwest director

"It's par for the course," [Ordower] said. "When you're doing more registrations than anyone else in the country, some don't want low-income people being empowered to vote. There are pretty targeted attacks on us, but we're proud to be out there doing the patriotic thing getting people registered to vote."

Republicans are among ACORN's loudest critics. At a campaign stop in Bethlehem, Pa., supporters of John McCain interrupted his remarks Wednesday by shouting, "No more ACORN."

PLEASE GET THE FACTS STRAIGHT!

ACORN verifies every single registration form, and when they can't, they flag them as potentially fraudulent before turning them into officials, as they are required by law!

PLEASE help push this story around as much as possible to encourage others to get their facts straight.

UPDATE 2:
Friday Night on Larry King both conservatives Joe "Pags" Pagliarulo and Jonah Goldberg say that ACORN is lying about their actions in registering voters.

Once again - ACORN is required by law to turn in every voter registration form. They flag the ones they believe are not real or accurate, and ACORN stated before this video was cut that they went so far as to communicate to these BOE's what was going on.

The ACORN spokesperson also said that every two weeks ACORN turns in voter registration forms, so the fact that these folks are just now coming out with there being "problems" is suspect because the most recent registration documents are only the last two weeks - so how is it that they have such HUGE stacks of people from way back when that they are only NOW beginning to talk about?
