What a crock of crack. Figures liberals would give credence to Rolling Stone. Liberal pot smokers never cease to make me laugh!

You better crawl out from underneath that Republican rock you live under. The future of your nation is at stake. This is no time for party loyalty.

Well, the first sentence of the article dismisses ACORN's antics, even though they've been going on for years and there have been convictions. So, I dismiss Rolling Stone's story. Easy.

Great post! Very informative.

But why is this a liberal/conservative issue? You don't care about ensuring the democratic process? Do you know how programming works and how easy it would be to slip in some code that would alter votes (for either Republicans or Democrats), especially when that code is closed? There is no oversight of the people writing the code.

I didn't think conservatives would care at all about this.
What's a little (millions of votes) election fraud?

Least you didn't complain about Acorn (registration fraud) in the same response.

No, they don't care. They will throw democracy under the bus in order to ensure McCain's election. Just look at BrokerDave's response on this thread.

I mean, serious, it doesn't get much more anti-American than that.

The link is a teaser for the article in the upcoming issue of Rolling Stone, which I dont feel like buying. But you can hear Robert Kennedy Jr. on Ring of Fire radio podcasts and Greg Palast is all over the internet. And I do hope people in remote and possible target areas will be there at the polls, and will remind vulnerable people in their areas to call and be sure they're on the rolls, to bring their registration cards and some ID even if it's not required - and bring cameras!
