The Fox News Channel has been spending a lot of time covering the ACORN voter registration controversy. I'm more concerned with the long term implications of potential voter registration fraud than how it affects a specific election.
Despite the questions, 2008 will be a fairly decided election that selects a legitimate president just as the controversial 2000 election didn't make Bush's win illegitimate, imo.
Here is the important lesson from ACORN: We need uniform standards for elections involving federal offices. I'd love to see election reform be part of the next president's agenda.
There's an easy fix for voter registration: Universal registration. The government could automatically register everyone once they reach voting age.
We could also allow for registration though our annual tax filings. A box to check off to be registered to vote seems too simple, doesn't it?
