BB--

Regardless of the number of falsified registrations, Acorn is required by many states to turn over all registrations, falsified or not, to the state. No tactic of jamming channels is involved.

And this was pointed out earlier in the thread.

Also:

WSJ 15 Oct 2008:

After problems with the system by which Acorn paid according to number of registrations turned in, it changed to an an hourly rate system, with goals for numbers of registrations. "The group" (Acorn) "also started its own antifraud program, requiring all voter applications be reviewed by supervisors, and then verified by call-center employees, who make as many as three attempts to reach each voter signed up with a canvasser. Acorn's internal program flags potentially fraudulent registrations.   Then, as many but not all states require, it turns them over to election officials."



If you have contrary information, you are cordially requested to provide it--with exact source.
