Vote Fraud

Even Andrew Sullivan got taken in today by the right-wing meme against ACORN 's voter registration work and it looks like McCain will use it as a way to show his base why he didn't lose the election, but got it stolen by black people.
I sent him Josh Marshall's excellently analyzed and sourced discussion along with HuffPo's news analysis showing Republican — including McCain — ties to ACORN.

ACORN pays people by the number of registrations gathered and sometimes some of them cheat. But as Josh argues, registering Mickey Mouse is different than Mickey Mouse actually going to the polls and voting.
During one disturbing period of my checkered career in journalism, one boss thought it would be a good idea to set production quotas of three stories a day.
What they got were more re-written press releases than they had room to print. I think we all cheated.
