Opinion: Attacks on Acorn Are Unfair and Misleading

The recent attacks on the advocacy group Acorn’s national voter-registration drive are an unfair attempt by Republicans to win the presidential election, writes Martha Sanchez, chairwoman of the Los Angeles Acorn board of directors, in an opinion article in the Los Angeles Times.

Ms. Sanchez acknowledges that a percentage of voter registration applications gathered by the nonprofit organization are flawed, but writes that Acorn uses rigorous standards to vet the registrations, and the group fires any employees who falsify information on voter registrations.
