Obama and ACORN

Good grief! The reports of fraudulent voter registrations by ACORN are incredible. The number of people saying that they have been HARASSED by ACORN canvassers is beyond ridiculous. And all while collecting tax payer funds.

Mickey Mouse even gave in and registered.

Obama now claims that he has nothing to do with ACORN.

Oh really. There is some good info here.

The REALLY bad thing about this is that this election is going to be ugly. I mean really ugly. It's too late at this point for it even to approach being civil. I highly doubt that we will know the winner on Nov. 5th, or even shortly there after. If Obama wins, then people are going to be screaming fraud (mainly because they are now), with legitimate claims and concerns, considering the 1.3 million people that ACORN has reportedly registered, with tens of thousands thought to be fraudulent. Of course if McCain wins, the pundits have already been promising that there will be riots in major cities and cries of racism and disenfranchisement.

This is all out of hand.

We need a NATIONAL system for conducting elections. We need training offered on how to vote on those systems. If they could have it in place by 2010, that would be great, but at least by 2012. I'm tired of all of the hanging chad business and somebody hacked the computer garbage. Just ridiculous. I would highly advise going with something like we have in AZ. Paper ballots that are simple to fill out, then are read and stored by the machine with immediate feedback over whether or not there was an issue. They work great.

Any way you slice it, it is just going to be ugly. Already lawyers on both sides waiting in the wing to challenge results.

This is pathetic.
