[QUOTE="Conservationist:827632"] Acorn officials bill themselves as nonpartisan community organizers merely interested in giving a voice to minorities and the poor. In reality, Acorn is a union-backed, multimillion-dollar outfit that uses intimidation and other tactics to push for higher minimum wage mandates and to trash Wal-Mart and other non-union companies. Given this history, it's not surprising that Acorn is so hostile to voter identification laws and other efforts to ensure fairness and accuracy at the polls. In Missouri last month, the state Supreme Court held that a photo ID requirement to vote was overly burdensome and a violation of the state constitution. Acorn was behind the original suit challenging the statute, and it has brought similar challenges in several other states, including Ohio. A recent Pew Research Center survey found that blacks today are almost twice as likely as they were in 2004 to say they have little or no confidence in the voting system. Such a finding would seem like a powerful argument for voter ID laws, which consistently poll well among people of all races and incomes and would increase confidence in the voting process. Of course, voter ID laws would also cut down on fraud, which, judging from the latest indictments, would put a real crimp in Acorn's style. http://www.opinionjournal.com/editorial/feature.html?id=110009189 That's Obama's old outfit. Yeah, we know Obama. We know a shyster when we see one. A grassroots organization that grew out of 1960s radicalism was Friday at the heart of a political firestorm over alleged voter registration fraud in the run-up to the US presidential election. The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now -- better known by its acronym ACORN -- boasts gathering the names of 1.3 million mostly non-white, low-income voters in 21 states in the most successful voter registration drive in US history. But its achievement is challenged by conservative opponents of Democratic front-runner Barack Obama, after allegations of voter registration fraud emerged in at least six to eight states where the November 4 vote is liable to be close. http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5j0Bzq5xq132UlpKLTagGiaNFa5pA [/QUOTE]
