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.”
