ACORN, and others have been caught in some form of voter fraud/suppression of Republicans the past few elections. The NY Times has an article on who commits more, and how widespread it is.
Five years after the Bush administration began a crackdown on voter fraud, the Justice Department has turned up virtually no evidence of any organized effort to skew federal elections, according to court records and interviews.
Although Republican activists have repeatedly said fraud is so widespread that it has corrupted the political process and, possibly, cost the party election victories, about 120 people have been charged and 86 convicted as of last year.
Most of those charged have been Democrats, voting records show. Many of those charged by the Justice Department appear to have mistakenly filled out registration forms or misunderstood eligibility rules, a review of court records and interviews with prosecutors and defense lawyers show.
Of course this is the NY Times, and the article attempts to paint Republicans as paranoid fear-mongers. They don't cover how many votes were fraudulent, or how many people weren't allowed to vote because of organized efforts to slash tires. The greatest case of voter fraud in US history was not even addressed in the article. In that case the Republican candidate won the election, then won a recount, but lost a second recount the Democratic party funded. There was a ton of dead people, fake addresses, forgeries, and magically appearing ballots in that case.
It was, however, still nice to see the NY Times have to admit that Democrats commit more voter fraud than Republicans. This is why Democrats are so sure that Republicans commit voter fraud when they win ... cause you can't lose if your cheating unless your opponent is cheating as well, right?
