ACORN Pleads Guilty to Voter Registration Fraud in Nevada

Re: ACORN Pleads Guilty to Voter Fraud

Re: ACORN Pleads Guilty to Voter Fraud

What's the point of voter registration fraud? Why register "Mickey Mouse" to vote? What's in it for you?

As the people doing the registration were getting paid a bonus depending on the number of people signed up, they could increase the amount of money they got by frauduantly signing up fake people

They are in fact different


Creating a voter registration for Mickey Mouse is different then have someone say they are Mickey Mouse and actually voting

One is fraud that effects the money the state pays out, the other could effect the outcome of an election

Now THIS is irony.

The headline reads "voter registration fraud" but then the actual text says "violation of election law."

But "offered employees compensation for number of registrations" doesn't sound as bad as "voter registration fraud." Similarly, "voter fraud" is even worse sounding, hence the OP's straight up lie.

Finally, I love the blurb at the end about the pimp scandal that doesnt bother to mention that scandal was based on edited video and was not at all representative of what actually happened.

****ing Fox. So typical.

Lazy employees who figured out they could get paid to sit at the mall and write up fake registrations instead of having to actually walk around and do work.

ALSO, another great lie-via-omission we have here: Fox mentions that ACORN turned in fake registrations, like one with Tony Romo's name on it. What they fail to mention is that ACORN was legally required to turn in registrations, even if they knew them to be fake. So what ACORN did was flag those registrations as fraudulent, turn them in as required, and then forward the info of those employees committing the fraud to the election board and police. But would Fox ever mention that? Hah.

And they certainly wouldn't mention that this law exists in the first place because a Republican organization was throwing out voter registrations when peopled checked the (D) box.

It's right there in the article, dude. Why does the headline not match the text?

Isn't this against the rules for Breaking News mainstream?

Fox News is also guilty of this infraction. :lamo

the title of the thread is supposed to be the same as the article. read the rules.

So, you're saying they were found guilty of following the law, is that it?

yes. i'm sure your kind would most definitely wanna rid the front page of your "support group" being outed for VOTER FRAUD.
i'll say it a dozen more times. so what? report it and get it removed. might make your corrupt ass feel better.
 
Re: ACORN Pleads Guilty to Voter Fraud

No, the law they broke in Nevada was paying their employees bonuses based on the number of registrations filled out.

It's right there in the article.

They were legally required to turn in even fraudulent registrations. Which is why I said something along the lines of how they were legally required to turn in fraudulent registrations. I'm having a hard time figuring out how you jumped to this conclusion from what I wrote.

Do you really not understand the difference between voter fraud and voter registration fraud?

Because it sure seems like you don't.

edit: Or maybe for some reason you want to paint an organization like ACORN with a crime they didn't actually commit and are willing to actually defend doing so?

Voter fraud is a broader term, no need to detail in the title. Thats what the op thread is for... you try so hard it's sad :lamo

No, it isn't a "broader term." You don't get to make up your own definitions of things.

Voter fraud is casting a vote illegally.

Voter registration fraud is filling out a fraudulent registration, but does not imply a false vote was actually cast.

The first was not a crime that was committed. The second was, (and was handled properly by ACORN when discovered)

in context, it really don't mean much. not to me, anyway. we can all go out of our way to play little word games to
deflect from the actual topic. it matters little to me. the point of the thread remains. ACORN was a corrupt organization
whose foundation was based in VOTER FRAUD. i'm gonna keep saying it. i just typed it out in the title at 1st without
really going too deep in the whole language complexities, because the "language complexities" weren't the damn point.
the point was....the organization is corrupt BY THEIR OWN ADMISSION now.
deal with it.

Im pretty sure voter resistration fraud is a type of voter fraud、 but in the end it doesn't really matter its just linguistics.. the op used this way of wording it and i understood what it meant... i dont know why you didnt and are distracting from the actual issue :doh

If you think the difference between casting false votes which could steal and election and paying employees bonuses based on number of registration forms filled out is "word games," I just don't know what to tell you.

i know. both these acts of voter fraud are simply mind-boggling in their myriad of different aspects.
just think...one definition of "voter fraud" has an actual person going to the polls to vote under an assumed identity...
while the other definition of "voter fraud" is one enabling another person to vote under an assumed identity.
my god....how outlandishly unrealistic to think the 2 aren't essentially the same damn thing in context to
the damn OP.
