TALLAHASSEE --
Two suspicious Seminole County voter registration cards became a flash point Wednesday in the Republican effort to suggest the community group ACORN is committing fraud in its historic Florida get-out-the vote efforts.

An ACORN spokesman said the group spotted what appeared to be forged registration cards weeks ago and fired a worker over them. But the Republican National Committee blasted the housing and wage advocacy group in a nationwide conference call with reporters, saying it wasn't an isolated incident.

ACORN, or the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, has become a force in the Florida race, signing up 135,000 new Florida voters since January in just three counties: Miami-Dade, Broward and Orange.

That's a fifth of all new voters. More than 58 percent are Democrats, who now outnumber Republicans by almost 500,000 voters -- providing Barack Obama a potentially crucial edge in the neck-and-neck race in Florida.

1. And the Republicans think two bad cards mean that all of those new registrations should be tossed?

Yeah, there'll always be some bad cards when the numbers are that high, but I don't see there's enough evidence for large-scale voter fraud.
