<description>In a Politico.com piece, John Fund described &#x22;out-of-state&#x22; registrants who reportedly cast ballots in Ohio as &#x22;fraudulent voters,&#x22; without noting that a &#x3C;em&#x3E;Columbus Dispatch&#x3C;/em&#x3E; article Fund apparently cited in his piece quoted an Ohio prosecutor saying of the people: &#x22;[M]y take is that they haven&#x27;t come here to deceive anyone. ... They were under the impression they were entitled to vote.&#x22;  &#x3C;br /&#x3E;

<link>http://mediamatters.org/items/200810150014</link>
<description>On &#x3C;em&#x3E;World News&#x3C;/em&#x3E;, Jake Tapper reported on &#x22;accusations of voter fraud&#x22; against ACORN workers, noting that &#x22;ACORN officials said the primary problem isn&#x27;t a few phony names on voter registrations, but real voters being prevented from casting their ballots.&#x22; But &#x3C;em&#x3E;World News&#x3C;/em&#x3E; did not report on the indictment of former RNC official James Tobin and in the past two weeks has not aired any reports on the issue of voter suppression.</description>

<title>&#x3C;em&#x3E;WSJ&#x3C;/em&#x3E; editorial leaves out relevant information in smear of ACORN</title>
<link>http://mediamatters.org/items/200810140021</link>
<description>&#x3C;em&#x3E;The Wall Street Journal&#x3C;/em&#x3E; asserted that Sen. Barack Obama&#x27;s &#x22;kind of organizers work at Acorn, the militant advocacy group that is turning up in reports about voter fraud across the country.&#x22; The editorial cited as evidence reports that ACORN submitted allegedly false or duplicate voter registration applications this year in Michigan, Nevada, Ohio, Florida, New Mexico, North Carolina, Missouri, Wisconsin, Indiana, Connecticut, and Texas. But the editorial did not note that the statutes of at least nine of those 11 states require third parties registering prospective voters to submit to election officials all registration forms they received -- even those they believed to be false or duplicate applications.</description>

<title>Fox News&#x27; Kelly mocked ACORN for accurate statement about Florida registration law</title>
<link>http://mediamatters.org/items/200810140010</link>
<description>Fox News&#x27; Megyn Kelly mocked ACORN&#x27;s statement that it was required under Florida law to submit a voter registration form filed under the name &#x22;Mickey Mouse&#x22; to the Orange County, Florida, board of elections. In fact, Florida law calls for entities withholding voter registration forms to face a fine of $1,000 for each registration they withhold.</description>
