Your Grievance For the Next Four Years: "Voter Fraud" (Gawker re: GOP & ACORN)
If the Democrats pull this off and win the presidential election, the Republican "noise machine" will not simply give up and devote themselves to charity. They will need to undermine and delegitimize President Obama as much and as loudly as possible, non-stop, for the entirety of his term ... Thanks, then, to Roger Stone, old-school GOP Political Operative, for giving us a sneak preview of the complaints you'll be hearing until 2012:

"... ACORN, a left-wing activist group that supports Obama, is literally dragging homeless people, people from drug rehab centers, soup kitchens and women in domestic abuse shelters to the polling places for early voting ..."

Yes, Voter Registration Drives are indicative of massive fraud! Homeless people may be humans but that doesn't mean they should be allowed to vote ...

3. I love a lot of the work that ACORN has done, but I have always had concerns about their paying
to get signatures on petitions, and voter registration. When one is getting paid by the signature, of course fraud will happen. Hourly pay for signature gatherers would be superior, I know that there would be less numbers of signatures, but there would be less fraud.

4. You will be pleased to learn that you have been wrong. ACORN pays per hour, not per signature:

... "We hire people directly from the communities we serve, and we at ACORN pay them $8 an hour and ask them to collect between 15 and 20 signed voter registration cards in five hours," <Maryellen Hayden, head organizer of the Allegheny County branch of ACORN> said ...
