They're legally required to submit all forms that are filled out, even if one person fills out multiple forms. Even if it's an obvious fake, like Mickey Mouse. Filtering out names they don't like would be much worse than submitting extra names (who obviously won't be actually voting).

On the scale of voting problems, extra registrations are a nuisance, extra voting is a problem, and preventing legitimate votes is nefarious. Only the first and third are in any way common. If people were actually voting 72 times, the registration story would be background info for that story.

More total Bull Shit. Flooding a election office with 6000 fake votes is an obvious attempt to overwhelm the system and suspect of voter fraud. I doubt there is a single registered republickin in the batch.

Maybe, maybe not. But the fact remains that they're legally required to turn in every form they get.

You seem to like to toss out the term "bull shit", and then not respond to the post you're quoting.

This isn't the first time that GOTV people have been paid by the signature. If it had led to people voting 72 times, that would be the story. As it is, ACORN threw their money away, and the guy who signed up 72 times has a bit of extra cash. Maybe they thought it was worth it if it made their stats look good for future monetary supporters.
