ACORN versus The Regular Voter

From the NY Post:

Two Ohio voters, including Domino's pizza worker Christopher Barkley , claimed yesterday that they were hounded by the community-activist group ACORN to register to vote several times, even though they made it clear they'd already signed up.

The organization ACORN is all over the news regarding their efforts to register voters and take them to the polls. There are multiple criminal probes currently going on that may cause individuals that are part of this organization to go to jail. They say that they are just registering poor people. Others say that they are purposely promoting voter fraud for the Democrats.

Here is my issue. The requirements to vote in this country are extremely lax. All you need to do is fill out a form with a valid address and send it in. You will then receive your voter registration card and can vote. Our polling places don't even validate your name-only that you know one that is in the book.

We can debate the level of stupidity in the system from now until election day. It is clear that the only purpose to keep these rules simple is to promote fraud. We need identification for writing a check, driving a car, registering a child in school, cashing a welfare check, getting senior benefits, getting on an airplane, getting on a train or entering an NJ State run office building. So why should we not have legitimate id when voting?

My biggest issue with ACORN and voter fraud is that not only are they purposely cheating the system. They are doing it as a branch of the Democratic party. And every illegitimate vote cancels out a vote from a citizen who plays by the rules.
Nothing more. Nothing less.

And anyone who disagrees clearly has another agenda other than fairness.
