These Zombie ACORN groups can do a lot of damage to the country before we see a Republican White House – and in fact could help prevent one through massive voter fraud.


That’s why citizen journalists across the nation need to be on the lookout for these reanimated ACORN groups.

    I have always shown Voter ID, since 1976, but never have I had to show a photo ID, before. And this is the problem with the 2012 vote- why now?

    I vote in Arkansas. Since I was 18, I have always had to show a photo id - and I have never been troubled at doing it. But better than showing a photo id, why not a photo id with an address matching a utility bill or tax statement to prove that you not only have id, but a valid address.

    one of the things Eric Holder is fighting is any attempt by states to check and see if voters live in that state ...its obvious democrats have a lot to lose if only legal voters are counted in an election.

    Isn't the issue how to keep illegals from voting while not barring legitimate citizens? Illegals can have bills with valid addreses, photo ID's, etc., everything citizens have. I'm not disagreeing with you -- I'm in favor of anything that works to protect our voting process from fraud. BY ANYONE.

    Our precincts have copies of our registration cards. We have to sign so the signatures can be checked. That seems pretty safe to me.

    Not without out proof of who you are. Unfortunately, getting a Dept. of Finance & Admin id (or driver's license) requires NO proof of citizenship.

    I had to prove who I was to register. Since then I just have to sign, and the Election Judge verifies the signature against my card (a copy) and gives me a ballot.

    I think you're right that the problem lies elsewhere than in voter registration. NOBODY imo should get a license (or State ID in lieu of) without a birth certificate or proof of citizenship. The subversion and perversion of what our forefathers died to secure for us makes me sick.

    You sign in front of people that could be easily fooled by a forged signature. I learned to sign my bosses signature so well that I could cash his check. Worked out good for him at the time, but if I was the type, I could probably still do it today.

    Well, not easily in my case. My handwriting is fairly unusual. But I get your point.

    I don't have a problem with ID (or profiling). :)

    I consider myself liberal and I don't see why this is a problem. Its funny that cons think this would solve the problem. I say there should be volunteers of all parties counting votes and each group certifying the vote count.

    I don't have a problem with showing ID, however, I think that this is in process because initially the Republicans felt that it would keep Blacks from showing up at the polls to vote because of the lack of having proper ID. In the vicinity where I live, it has been an encouragement to obtain accurate ID and has improved voting registration.

    Nobody cares what color a voter is - but we want REAL, living, US citizens voting.

    Tell that to someone who doesn't know any better, I've been Black all of my life, and for all of my years of voting the voters regardless to color or creed have been REAL voters. However, the problem is the Republicans like to do things to keep people of color from voting, so don't tell me that nobody cares about the color of a voter, because in some cities they most certainly do! I guess if I believed that, then you'd have a bridge for me to buy.

    A new report by the Pew Center on the States finds that about 24 million active voter registrations throughout the Nation are no longer valid or are wrought with inaccuracies.
    Of the 24 million people who are inaccurately registered to vote, about 1.8 million are dead, according to the report. Another problem reported is that nearly 3 million people are registered in more than one State.

    Linda Kay Hill, a homemaker and Louisiana native, died Aug. 2, 2006, of a heart attack, her husband recalled, and is buried at Houston Memorial Gardens in Pearland. But Harris County voter records indicate she –- or someone using her identity –- cast a ballot in the November election that year. Linda Hill of Woodwick Street voted in person on Election Day, records show.

    In Johnson County in Kansas and Jackson County in Missouri, NBC Action News has identified 10 cases of dead people being recorded as voting in elections

    Faith it didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that you don't support the president, I'm assuming that's what you meant. I have shoes and clothes older than you, I know things concerning racism that you'll never know or believe, and if you think that me as a Black person is keeping racism alive, not only are you shallow, but you are in denial and living under a rock. To find racism all you'd have to do is to look in the mirror, and to follow the news. The sad thing is that people like yourself have blinders on when it comes to racism, and you like to play the blame game. Your comprehension game is off, because truth and logic is something that you do not understand. To endure the false accusations, and mean spirited practices that Whites have demonstrated towards Blacks and others of ethnic backgrounds, is something that you choose to believe doesn't exist. Unhappy Whites, and prejudice Whites have kept racism going on and on for years. Racism is not dead, it is alive and it is the White race that is keeping it alive.

Thank God for the laws that are in place, and thank God for that majority of people who distance themselves from your kind of thinking. Many of them Republicans that view things a little different than yourself. There are many people that think as I do, I stood in line with them on several occasions waiting to hear the president speak, I shared many conversations with people of all ethnic backgrounds, I know for a fact that many share my opinion and my belief. This is America, you have a right to your opinion and I mine. Perhaps when you mature, we can speak on a different level, because our conversing has come to an end.

    No, refusing to believe that there are people who DO care -- and not just those who have color in their skin. If you won't believe a person who's been a victim of racism, you're part of the problem.

    You're attempting to defend a racist, which makes you as bad as her. Where did I say that racism doesn't exist?
