Actually the ACORN propaganda is about something else.

ACORN Smear is Effort to Cover Up Massive GOP Push to Undermine 2008 Elections Through Coast-to-Coast Vote Suppression!
... The ongoing Republican attack on the lawful voter registration efforts of ACORN is a "desperate smokescreen maneuver" masking an extensive coast-to-coast GOP push to disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of voters through a wide range of vote suppression tactics, according to Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, former lieutenant governor of the state of Maryland and a member of the board of advisors of NoVoterLeftBehind.net ( http://www.NoVoterLeftBehind.net).
Urging concerned Americans to get involved through NoVoterLeftBehind.net, Kennedy Townsend said: "The attack on the voter registration efforts of ACORN may go down in the record books as the ultimate case of the 'dirty' pot calling the 'clean' kettle black. ACORN is being savaged for doing its duty to openly self-report all cases where there may be any kind of issue with specific voter registration forms. By contrast, the GOP is skulking around out of the public eye across the nation in a sub rosa attempt to use a host of outrageous and desperate vote suppression tactics to steal the election."
She added: "For every potentially problematic ACORN voter registration form that will never result in anyone casting an illegitimate vote, there are literally hundreds of voters who the GOP will go to any lengths to keep out of the voting booth. This attack on ACORN is a sad and deeply cynical tactic coming from a party that seems to have concluded that they can't win the election on their own, so they have to prevent the other side from voting." ...-

...ACORN has come under attack in Nevada, Missouri, Ohio and elsewhere by Republicans attempting to block the many thousands of primarily low-income citizens that ACORN has registered. Under the law, ACORN must report irregular registrations that result from its process. The GOP is seizing on these entirely routine and voluntary reports as "fraudulent" filings, when in fact this is not the case at all. In nearly every state, ACORN is required to turn in all completed applications, even the ones we know to be problematic, and then to identify the ones involving possible concerns.

The ACORN situation pales in comparison the outright vote suppression efforts underway nationwide:
-- Misinforming college students in Colorado, Virginia and South Carolina about their right to vote. For example, the Republican clerk of El Paso County, Colo., informed local students: '. . . if your parents
still claim you on their income tax returns, and they file that return
in a state other than Colorado, you are not eligible to register to vote
or vote in Colorado.' The same tactic is being used in other states in sometimes even starker ways to keep young people from voting.....
AND MANY MANY MORE EXAMPLES....

Heh...I lived in El Paso County for 10 years (i.e., Colorado Springs, during my entire 20s), and this doesn't surprise me at all. The majority of residents in that city seemed to be extremely right-wing, and it was where I learned first-hand, multiple times, how utterly intolerant of opposing views conservatives can be. 8( -

They are eligible to vote but should vote in their home of record. Your example of a scandal is one where nothing much exists except each county is trying to insure that their rolls are correct so that voters are not voting for issues that do not effect them and that they indeed have the opportunity to vote for people who represent them back home, so in the Colorado example, that is partly true. We don't want to get into situations where people vote in more than one location and a student can vote as an absentee.

Poor hyper is in denial. Stanley Kurtz examined the records of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge and wrote several articles of his findings there and in the places that those records pointed to. But for poor little hyper it is all a Zionist conspiracy.

Say it again hyper. Zionist, Zionist, Zionist. there I said it for you. Hypers problem is that Stanley Kurtz is a meticulous researcher and writes only what he can verify. hyper can't stand it.-
