This is so stupid that I weep for America
52% of Republicans think ACORN stole the election for Obama. Seriously. I do not have enough palms to apply to my forehead to do this level of idiocy any justice. I thought such an absurd view was on the fringe even in the GOP, but apparently it's the mainstream Republican view. Unbelievable.
Among Republicans, however, only 27% say Obama actually won the race, with 52% -- an outright majority -- saying that ACORN stole it, and 21% are undecided. Among McCain voters, the breakdown is 31%-49%-20%. By comparison, independents weigh in at 72%-18%-10%, and Democrats are 86%-9%-4%.
Once again, Republicans show that ACORN is their all-powerful boogieman, their Illuminati, if you will. They somehow believe that this underfunded organization that relies mainly on volunteers and low wage workers produced a 9.5 million popular vote, 365-173 electoral vote win for Obama.
In fact ACORN only registered 1.3 million new voters for the '08 election. Even if every single one of them was a fake registration and that fake person voted, it wouldn't have been enough. As it is, most of those registrations were legitimate. In a few areas there was evidence of voter registration fraud, which by the way is NOT the same as voter fraud. It means some bogus names showed up on registry lists and by the way, ACORN reported that fact themselves before the election as required by law. It does not mean that those fake people were then able to vote.
ACORN is simply not that powerful, people. Not even close. I don't know where you could possibly get the idea otherwise. Okay, I actually I do know where. I'm looking at you, Fox News.
