The story is a biased hit piece. First, a few ACORN supporters are demonized as lefties who dared protest in their youth. The article does not mention that many of the potentially fraudulent voter applications were identified as potentially fraudulent by ACORN, before turning them in as so identified to authorities. The story does not provide information on how many of the investigations and charges are being lodged by partisan Republican groups, Republican prosecutors appointed by Bush, Republican secretaries of state, and Republican governors. It fails to look at how many false registrations actually result in invalid votes being cast and counted (almost zero). It fails to note the extensive Republican attempts at caging voters and violating the HAVA act in trying to strike voters from voting rolls via the use of prohibited suspect "official" sources. The article is a biased hit piece.
