Slog - Comments on Great Oaks http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/10/great_oaks ... from little ACORNS grow. At least the McCain campaign sure hopes they do. My hero and yours Hendrik Hertzberg sets them up...

One or two per cent of these workers turned in sheaves of forms that they filled out themselves with fake names and bogus addresses, and, even though at least a hundred of these workers have already been fired, the forged forms have been submitted to election boards.

Feds should prosecute, too. Not Acorn -- the folks who filled out false voter registrations.

Election fraud is a felony. So the people who filled in "Mickey Mouse" on a registration form would get a slap on the wrist, whereas the felons who used a few examples of that as an excuse to throw millions of eligible voters off the rolls would get -- the keys to the White House!
