Actually, no one is even talking about whether they flagged them or not. I haven't seen one reporter question it. All I've heard are that are people saying fraudulent registrations were received. Don't you agree that if ACORN is required to submit all registrations, then the scary "OMG Mickey Mouse and Tony Romo are gonna vote!" is nonsense and instead we should be talking about 1) whether or not these applications had been flagged, 2) whether or not ACORN officials encouraged fraudulent applications, and 3) whether the amount of fraudulent applications that were not flagged is a high enough percentage to call negligence.

None of these questions have been asked. The mickey Mouse and Tony Romo stuff make for good headlines, but they do absolutely nothing to get at the root of the problem.
