Is Acorn a Scandal?



On McCain's last debate he discussed about a group called the Acorn which is a nonprofit group that helps low income people get registered for the up coming election. The reason why this has become a big controversy is because many who registered for voting would fill invalid registration form in the polls. It even started with many of these forms with fake names and this is why many are calling this a fraud Acorn had no part in what many do because Acorn sends its forms straight to the electoral officials telling them that they have a few forms that look funny because Acorn has no right to stop the invalid forms and can’t take voting rights away. This was when the electoral officials started the whole thing that Acorn was the reason of the whole scandal of the fake forms, which Acorn only worn the electoral officials what they thought was going wrong.
