I think it's quite funny in a way. They're getting a taste of their own medicine.

It does sound like what Acorn did during the presidential election. You don't hear anything about that lately, do you? Where did all those illegal registrations wind up?

It was wrong then, and it's wrong now.

Raw story? I think they've been smoking something themselves - That explains it

If we put something up from a right wing source you'd cry "not credible".

Raw Story? No where even close to credible.

Nice try.

You do know that Raw Story is opinion based? - people who have opinions submit stories

It's not a real news place. Unless I want to read something liberal I don't go to them. They have no credibility as an actual news agency.

The article states that people were "duped" into registering as republican? Even if they were, as the ACORN crowd cried out when they did it to others at election time, just cos you register as a democrat (or republican) does not mean that is how you have to vote.

But I guess it's only okay for ACORN and others.

Raw stories prints "opinion" articles. Depends on what side you are on you would actually believe that a story is true or false. It's opinion.
Please provide proof to this assertion because (sm) - Nikki

I'm definitely not going to just take your word for it.


In most, if not all, Raw Story columns there are usually multiple SOURCES to the story.  All you have to do is click on them.  (I've explained this with many of the Raw Story articles I post.)  They are typed in a different color, and all you have to do is click on the word(s) to read that source.


So, speaking of sources, please provide one to back up this allegation about Raw Story.


As far as these newly registered voters being able to vote for whomever they please at election time, I stated that very point in my post below, the one that reads I think it's great and funny.

I think it's funny and a great idea. (sm) - Nikki

It will probably only work for the primaries, though.  In a general election, they can vote for whomever they wish.  Once they figure out they were duped, I wonder how many would vote Republican again.  Smile
