So why is it some of the salaried employees are
also getting caught up in these charges, you know, the ones
listed as 'masterminds', is it because they have instructions
to do what ever it takes?

And can't ACORN refuse to accept obviously fraudulent ones?

U.S. District Judge Donald Molloy issued a scathing order Wednesday lambasting the Montana Republican Party for challenging the registrations of thousands of Montana voters, but stopped short of an actual ruling in the case.

In his 19-page order, Molloy denied a temporary restraining order to the Montana Democratic Party, which sought to stop thousands of GOP-led voter challenges from moving forward. Molloy wrote that Secretary of State Brad Johnson “astutely” asked counties not to process the Republicans' voter challenges, which effectively alleviated a crisis that would have required a restraining order.

“The timing of these challenges is so transparent that it defies common sense to believe the purpose is anything but political chicanery,” Molloy wrote

I've only seen salaried workers charged for making false statements, which is fairly easy to do in this kind of situation.  No actual fraud charges

Voter registration drive operators know that they have to turn in EVERYTHING they receive. It isn't their job to determine whether something is fraudulent or not.

One of 400 voter registrars made a scheme to make money. There was no evidence that anyone actually planned to vote with those fake voter registrations, not like it would have even been POSSIBLE to vote with them. Furthermore, ACORN COMPLETELY cooperated with the prosecution of the Seattle case.

Acorn is pretty great. It's been the most successful voter registration drive. Where are you reading that only half are legit? So far, it's about 13,000 out of that 1.3 million.

In 2006, ACORN also committed what Washington Secretary of State Sam Reed called the "worse case of election fraud" in the state's history.

In the case, ACORN submitted just over 1,800 new voter registration forms, and all but six of the 1,800 names were fake.

More recently, 27,000 registrations handled by the group from January to July 2008 "went into limbo because they were incomplete, inaccurate, or fraudulent," said James Terry, chief public advocate at the Consumers Rights League.
