I still don't entirely get it. I can understand fraud in counting paper voting ballots (I have only ever voted on computers by the way), I can understand the bribing of people to make them vote what you want, although this is not always easy.....I would take the money and vote like I was planning to before:).
But I don't get the whole registering thing. I remember that in the US you need to register before being allowed to vote (which I always heard was a reason why many poor and uneducated people didn't bother), but does this cost money?
We get a ballot send tho our house but of course there are the homeless people, or the ones that move house often who might run in to trouble here. But still, if one person is able to vote more than one time, it is the system that does not work. The system should make sure somebody with a certain social security number can only vote once right?
About my last remark....if these ACORN got 150.000 new voters to register and around 60 % were planning to vote for Obama it seems like hardly being worth the effort 8Assuming that McCain would get the other 40 %.....or is there 35 % Nader voters there as well?
