Gathering ACORNs

There's been a lot of noise from the GOPers lately about the activities of ACORN - the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now. ACORN is registering voters across the country in advance of the election next month. There have been allegations of voter fraud, inferring that ACORN is doing anything it can, legal or not, to ensure an Obama victory.

As usual, this appears to be a whole lot of sound and fury, signifying nothing. Ed over at Dispatches from the Culture Wars has a good summary of the allegations and what's actually going on. It's too much to excerpt here, so go read the whole thing. And keep in mind that Ed is not an Obama supporter - he's voting for Bob Barr - so he can't be waived away with an "of course he thinks that" dismissal.
