Here it is the most exciting election I have ever been tune to in a foreing country and every time I and others watch, we vote even though we have never been to USA. Amazing isn't it. Are you having this experience?

I'm surprised ACORN hasn't signed you up to vote like they have many thousands of other non-citizens, tombstones, double registrations, etc. Maybe you should check, you just might be on the voter roles somewhere here in the US.

just to show that the whole world is having a field day. I never thought I would live to see the day when USA came down to this.

ACORN doesn't actually sign anyone up to vote. They pay people to go out and register voters. Problem is, they pay these people by the registration, so when someone dishonest gets greedy, they come back with fake registrations and literally cheat ACORN out of money. ACORN is getting DEFRAUDED itself when this happens. They always report the fake registrations, they're always taken care of before the election, and one more important thing to remember: There is a BIG difference between registration fraud and voter fraud. Voter fraud is a VERY big deal, as it corrupts the election process. Registration fraud, especially when caught, has no impact whatsoever on an election. Think about it. Some guy writes up a bunch of fake registrations to bilk ACORN out of some extra cash. Now, obviously this guy isn't going to TELL anyone what he did, because then he's busted. Now let's assume that somehow the fake registrations make it through without being caught. Now it's Election Day. The ONLY person who knows about the fake registrations is the guy who made them up, so he's the only person who could 'exploit' them to try and vote multiple times. But this is a guy hard up enough on money that he'd be willing to spend an extended amount of time walking around trying to register people for money--assuming for a moment that he had every intention of committing voter fraud (which is already pretty unlikely, given the heavy penalty for it compared to the penalty for falsifying registrations; most people who would shoplift a pack of gum wouldn't rob a bank too), where would he get the money necessary to falsify the documents enough to even have a chance of getting away with the fraud? This whole conservative talking point stinks from all directions. It doesn't make any sense. On top of everything, remember that there is no evidence of any significant number of fake registrations even SURVIVING long enough to get on the books at the polls come Election Day. ACORN is FORCED to submit all registrations it receives to election officials, even the ones it knows are false, and that they've flagged as such.

Again I must re-emphasize that it is very important that you intlligent people who have the fore-knowlege of what kind of change Obama will bring about, use this information and educate the people you come across so that they too can see what is happening. This is history in the making and alot of people refuse to log on to the progess. Vote Obama- Log onto the Progress.
