Could be true but you would have to ignore the massive effects of

And in what way is that different than Bush money being shoveled by
the coffin-full to KBR/Halliburton and other fat-cat oil companies
in order to get campaign contributions so they can skew the vote?
ACORN is nothing compared to what happened in Florida in 2000. There
the vote was skewed by denying people to vote, not messing with the
registration numbers.

Sigh.

* KBR and Halliburton are not oil companies.
* Oil companies - or any corporation for that matter - may not make
campaign contributions.
* Bush won Florida in 2000 by some 500-odd votes; Acorn is
responsible for many tens of thousands.
* Vote denial in Florida was never litigated. The controversy was
over the counting of the votes.

The controversy was over the fact that many thousands were denied the
right to vote because of convenient purging of the voter lists which
cost the Dems WAY more than those 500 votes. IOW, fraud.
The concept being discussed is fraudulent votes, which ACORN is
accused of orchestrating (maybe accurately accused of doing)
The fact it was never litigated doesn't mean it didn't happen, just
like the fact that Bush hasn't been convicted of war crimes doesn't
exonerate him of being a war criminal.

There was purging of the voter rolls in Florida and as many as 100,000 names
were removed from the voter registration lists. The main reason for the
removal was a prior felony conviction (felons could not vote in Florida in
2000). Of course this cut down on the Democratic vote tremendously.

As I recall, a commission was convened to examine this issue (among others).
The commission could not verify that a single eligible voter had been denied
an opportunity to vote, though they did find one woman who had been purged
from the rolls but was able to vote in her new precinct (she had registered
twice).



Your objections fit the narrative but not the facts.

Ahhh yes, facts, a Repuglican specialty. (When it suits them..you
know, the situational kind.. like their ethics and morals.)

That's the way the adversarial system works: you promote your side, I'll
promote mine, your put forth your facts, I'll show my truths, and we'll let
fair-minded folks make a judgement.
