[Q] - The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports on the investigation into
fraudulent and duplicate voter registrations submitted by ACORN, and
notes that neither Democrats nor Republicans on the county's election
board believes the bad registrations will compromise the election's
results:
Even as Cuyahoga County digs deeper into possible fraud by a voter-
registration group, election board members from both political parties
maintain that any problems uncovered will not compromise the
presidential election.
Board members say proof of voter-registration fraud does not mean
illegal ballots will be cast on Nov. 4.
They said computer databases flag people who try to register
multiple times, and Ohio voter identification laws exclude people from
casting regular ballots when the board has not verified residency.
Still, the board is investigating suspicious registration cards
submitted by ACORN, a national group that tries to register low- and
moderate-income voters. . . .
The Cuyahoga County Republican Party has posted a news story about
the local investigation of ACORN. But even Chairman Rob Frost, the
second Republican member on the county's election board, said the
potentially fraudulent registration cards do not jeopardize the
fairness of the election.
"No, I don't have fear because we have a handle on problems caused
by ACORN," he said. -

Boy, that's a relief. Especially after all the ballots are rendered
anonymous on election day.
