Why pay by the viable registration? Because it's standard practice and procedure. It makes them work harder to target real (seeming) voters as well. It's true, the more numbers you have the more viable voters you have collected. You do go for numbers because the chances of hitting a real registrant is greater. But yes, they are paid per verifiable registration. ACORN had done one better and to their credit: Pay by the hour!! Less bullshit that way. ACORN is also probably also paid a commission for viable registrations. Typical in the bizz.

The point of all of it is, is to find out who the voters are, and their demographics, and bother them to vote until voting is over. The mission of every campaign is to get the real numbers and where the real voters are so you can develop basic statistics of probability. Then work with those numbers to develop your campaign.

All registrations are verified. Every single one. Obscuring the numbers or flooding the numbers would mean that you don't even know your own outcome, but you have upset a process. What good does it do to obfuscate the facts that you, yourself, NEED dearly?

Ok someone else answer these questions. I'm too bent to keep this up. Let's think things through. All the way through.
