Acorn Overstated Tally of Newly Registered Voters" By 300% (NY Times) This is HUGE, folks! Great news!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh my ... I think the shit's hitting the fan. Excuse me. But now even The New York Times is catching on to ACORN. That 1.3 million new voters number they've been touting forever??? Overstated by almost a million. Ha!!!!!!!!
Quote:
On Oct. 6, the community organizing group Acorn and an affiliated charity called Project Vote announced with jubilation that they had registered 1.3 million new voters. But it turns out the claim was a wild exaggeration, and the real number of newly registered voters nationwide is closer to 450,000, Project Vote’s executive director, Michael Slater, said in an interview.
The remainder are registered voters who were changing their address and roughly 400,000 that were rejected by election officials for a variety of reasons, including duplicate registrations, incomplete forms and fraudulent submissions from low-paid field workers trying to please their supervisors, Mr. Slater acknowledged.
In registration drives, it is common for a percentage of newly registered voters to be disqualified for various reasons, although experts say the percentage is higher when groups pay workers to gather registrations. But the disclosure on Thursday that 30 percent of Acorn’s registrations were faulty was described by Republicans as further proof of what they said was Acorn’s effort to tilt the election unfairly.
So they exaggerated the number of new voters by 65%.
Think this doesn't affect how the pollsters were sampling????
Oh, and this information squares with what we learned from Gallup yesterday. The percentage of new voters is the SAME as 2004. !!!!
