Obviously, they have accepted that they can't beat the Democrats on the field of ideas.
If there is no reward at the end why try to register fake and dead voters?
If this had happened in only one or two locations it wouldn't be a big deal (unless of course the organization was affiliated with Conservatives or Republicans).
ACORN and Project Vote are doing this all over the country. They must be getting something out of it.
Closed minds...... yeah, that has to be it.
Dude, I did voter registration for a couple of days maybe 25 years ago, and turning in fake registrations was going on then. Hell, one of the reasons i quit was I wouldn't do it. I was getting **** over low numbers as a result, and I've never been a tattletail so there was no other option.
Any time canvassers are paid by the registration this occurs. Mechanisms are in place to prevent paying people for fake registrations as well as save the registrar resources.
Maybe back then there was a legitimate possibility of election tampering through fake registrations.
But the difficulty of obtaining the necessary ID, as well as computerised verification processes are making this a vanishing possibility.
As much noise as has been made by both sides on this issue you would think this was an actual issue.
But actual cases of actually cast fraudulent votes are rare at best. It simply isn't practical.
Tampering with electronic voting machines would apparently be FAR easier.
Carry on.
The reward was getting paid more money for more voters signed up
Is that not a simple enough concept

Now THIS is irony.
The headline reads "voter registration fraud" but then the actual text says "violation of election law."
But "offered employees compensation for number of registrations" doesn't sound as bad as "voter registration fraud." Similarly, "voter fraud" is even worse sounding, hence the OP's straight up lie.
Finally, I love the blurb at the end about the pimp scandal that doesnt bother to mention that scandal was based on edited video and was not at all representative of what actually happened.
****ing Fox. So typical.
So, let me see if I have the facts here correct.
A few employees of an organization that is responsible for registering voters were being paid in a manner that is legal in many states, but not legal in Nevada. Those same employees chose, of their own volition, to fake paperwork to trick that organization into paying them more money. These employees were found out by the organization and reported, and the fake registrations were annulled so that no fake votes could be cast. And no fake votes were cast. The employees were brought to justice, and the organization they worked for has correctly decided not to clog the legal system in trying to pretend that they didn't employ this unorthodox payment tactic, and are justly paying for it in Nevada. This same payment style is legal in many other states and apparently works just fine there.
Why is the outrage directed at ACORN as a whole, and not at the specific people who broke the law? I thought people being responsible for their own actions was a major tenant of conservativism and libertarianism.

ask the 43 democrat senators and 180 members of pelosi's caucus who voted to d-e-f-u-n-d
the congress which d-e-f-u-n-d-e-d the COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS is not part of a discussion about the FRAUDULENT behavior of the COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS?
LOL!
sorry, but reality trumps the virtual world
the SEVENTY PERCENT of the party which voted to DEFUND the fraudulent COMMUNNITY ORGANIZERS speak very well for little old me
What's the point of voter registration fraud? Why register "Mickey Mouse" to vote? What's in it for you?

Why do you support defunding them? Come on, take a stance instead of blaming others.
A better reason would be the fact that ACORN does not exist.
How about massive voter registration fraud and "advising" clients how to falsify documents to open a prostitution house.
Is that enough of a reason to at least stop giving ACORN taxpayer money?

Could it be a dishonest attempt to discredit something more than is just?
You would have to prove that silliness was systematic and not the fault of one single person or location.
As for the future, I think the post above is correct. There is no ACORN anymore.
