That’s true. In fact, the law requires that Ralston turn in all completed forms he collects, even if he knows they are hinky. He does have the option of flagging them for the registrar’s convenience; after that it’s up to them to accept or reject it, so I guess, strictly speaking, there is no such thing as “registration fraud”, despite what the Republicans are saying.

ACORN!

“Ronald Michaelson, member of the McCain-Palin ‘Honest and Open Election Committee’ admitted over the weekend to The Politico, ‘Do we have a documented instance of voting fraud that resulted from a phony registration form? No, I can’t cite one, chapter and verse,’ he said. Asked whether his own party [Republican] was responsible for fostering that perception, Michaelson said, ‘Well, it doesn’t help. It has captured the attention of a lot of people.’ Why do it, then? ‘Maybe it’s because there’s nothing else to talk about,’ he said.” http://www.huffingtonpost.com/bertha-lewis/acorn-smears-setting-theb140717.html
