Faked names that a few Acorn reps turn in, ie Donald Duck, will never vote, or affect the vote. Black box fraud is real and helped the Repubs win last time.

Hey Boston, the Onion was always a must read back in Chicago. They have really kicked it up a notch, almost SNL-like.

Help me out here; if they'll "never vote" then why did Acorn go through the trouble to register them?

There are always a few frauds like "Donald duck" or "Sam smith" attempting to register. There are procedures in place to find these frauds and prevent them from actually voting.

Our biggest problem is the lack of a physically traceable trail associated with some of the electronic voting machines. I do not trust completely electronic voting machines and think they should be banned or at least modified to provide a paper slip that can be audited if necessary. I do not trust any company to provide a tamper proof completely electronic voting machine. The companies have too much to gain by having the proper election results.

Out town uses an Optronic card reader that stores the paper ballot for future reference. This provides an auditable trail.

Acorn probably pays a minimum wage to it's employees, and a 'bonus' for each 'voter' they register. Figure it out.

I'm in the middle here. I do believe both parties go in big for voter fraud. Urban democratic party machines practice it with gusto with ballot stuffing, and I do think that black box fraud is real and the republicans fiddle with the results. Obviously the only way to be fair is to disqualify BOTH parties from the presidential election.

I should have added that voter ID is a no brainer and needs to be universally enforced.

The Dems are not nearly as sophisticated and dirty as the Repubs, plus the Repubs have programmers who know how to flip the switches in the black box servers. Remember how the exit polls for Kerry were so wrong? They weren't.
