I wonder if maybe Palin and McCain and the GOP are laying the groundwork for massive challenges both at the polls on election day and in the courts on the day after attempting to have the votes of enough newly registered voters discounted to steal the election from Obama.

Let's get this straight. ACORN does not work for Obama. They are a non-profit agency that pays workers to get people registered and they have had some workers just take names out of phonebooks, etc. to get money. Registration fraud does not mean voter fraud. Mickey Mouse is not coming to the polls to vote. They just tricked ACORN out of some money.
Here is what Obama has said.
“My relationship to ACORN is pretty straightforward. It's probably 13 years ago when I was still practicing law, I represented ACORN and my partner in that representation was the U.S. Justice Department in having Illinois implement what was called the “motor voter” law, to make sure that people could go to DMVs and driver's license facilities to get registered. It wasn't being implemented. That was my relationship, and is my relationship to ACORN. THEY ARE NOT ADVISING OUR CAMPAIGN,” Obama has said. “We've got the best voter registration and turnout and volunteer operation in politics right now and we don't need ACORN's help.”
“This isn't a situation where there's actually people who are going to try to vote because these are phony names. ..Let's just make sure everybody is voting, everybody's registered. Let's make sure that everybody's doing it in a lawful way.”
