Hell, the inner city probably votes Dem 98% of the time and do you think Acorn's reach extends beyond that?

There are a few Acorn big players on trial for fraudulently registering voters. If someone is not legally eligible to vote, and then they end up voting because they were fraudulently registered, is that vote not cast illegally? May not be the same, but it's still wrong and can influence an election.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
