I'm glad, because it would be hard to infer...

ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, is a community-based organization that advocates for low- and moderate-income families by working on neighborhood safety, health care and other social issues.

There have been allegations of voter fraud by ACORN in this year's presidential elections, and since the group has endorsed Obama (Obama and two other lawyers represented ACORN in 1995 in a lawsuit against the state of Illinois to make voter registration easier, and hired a firm with ties to the group for a massive get-out-the-vote effort during this year's primary); some Republicans, most notably Ken Blackwell, have attempted to link Obama to the allegations of voter fraud.

That is about as neutral of a description I can find on the situation. I would prefer this thread to stick to the topic of voting regardless of who you vote for, as it is the democratic process that is of the utmost importance!

Thanks to everyone who has made, or is planning to make, the effort to vote!

Cheers! M2

True. Sorry M2.

I didn't mean you, I just wanted to keep the small wanderings about 'who is voting for whom' from knocking this thread off track. Your's was a legitimate question and I tried to give an objective response, but as you can see from the news, there is more to this story than what can said from a neutral position...

To me it is less important who votes for who, and more important that people vote! As long as you vote, you're OK in my book!

Cheers! M2

Yes...and please vote for the winner. ..but don't vote often.

When I voted early in the primary this year, I stood in line for over an hour. The demand is definitely there for more early voting. That's why it disappoints me that there can't be two weekends of early voting for major elections. Since voting is so important to our democracy, why can't Texas start the vote two days earlier and accommodate the needs of citizens who work weekdays?
