What Voter Fraud?

You know things are bad for John McCain in Florida when even Mickey Mouse is registering to vote against him. That application was rejected, but has provided conservatives a casus belli in their war against ACORN, the community organization. Thankfully, Matthew Yglesias cuts through the hysteria with some sanity: “There’s simply no way to gather over one million new voter registration forms without some of the forms having been filled out with bogus information.” False registrations are only a tiny fraction of the total number of new registrations, but provide conservatives cover for pushing their true aim: “to delegitimize all efforts at large-scale registration drives.”
