^ This explains it better-

In fairness to Marshall, he makes the valid point that fraudulent registration doesn’t necessarily end up in fraudulent voting. “This is fraud against ACORN,” he writes. “They end up paying people for registering more people then they actually signed up. If you register me three times to vote, the registrar will see two new registrations of an already registered person and the ones won’t count. If I successfully register Mickey Mouse to vote, on election day, Mickey Mouse will still be a cartoon character who cannot go to the local voting station and vote.”

And heres a transcript from a Fox interview with an Acorn spokesman-

Joining us live is Scott Levenson, national spokesperson for ACORN. Welcome, Scott, and let me ask you about Governor Palin's e-mail to find out if you agree with it.
First of all, has the ACORN pack endorsed Senator Obama for president?
SCOTT LEVENSON, ACORN NATIONAL SPOKESMAN: Yes, we have.
VAN SUSTEREN: And has Senator Obama's campaign paid $800,000 or any sum nearly that to any ACORN or ACORN affiliate to get out the vote?
LEVENSON: No--$800,000 was paid to CSI, a private organization. A small portion of that contract was paid to ACORN for get out the vote services in the primary.
VAN SUSTEREN: What do you say "small portion"? What's small portion?
LEVENSON: I believe it was $80,000.
VAN SUSTEREN: OK.
All right, here's the problem. In at least Cuyahoga County up in Ohio, and this is a state that's neck and neck--49 Obama, 47 McCain in our polls. ACORN has admitted to county election officials that it can't eliminate fraud from its operation. Did ACORN admit that?
LEVENSON: No.
In fact, this is a real important point, so I want to thank you for having me on. But it's important that the viewers I think hear the story of what's actually happened here.
We registered nationwide 1.3 million folks over an 18 month period, employing some 13,000 workers during that process. And during that time on a weekly basis, a by-weekly basis, we identified and tagged potential problem voter registration forms. At that time, we notified local boards of elections of those problematic forms.
What we're hearing about today, Greta, is the accumulation of those forms over an 18-month period that some folks are wrapping in an umbrella of fraud. And that's just not the case.
These are forms that we identified, we brought to the local board's attention, and we know that they might be problems and ask for the local boards to identify them.
But the real story here is how people registered to vote in this election for the first time in record numbers. Poor folks and inner city folks and young folks registered in record numbers, Greta, and we're kind of proud of that work.


LEVENSON: But Greta, the important thing is that ACORN showed its due diligence, identified the local officials, and we aggressively recruited new voters to the system. That's an exciting thing.
VAN SUSTEREN: I got that. That is very exciting. But what's not exciting is someone who registers 73 times, because the problem it sends to the rest of us a message that the election's going to be a fraud.
LEVENSON: That's why we brought it to the local elector's attention. That's why we did our due diligence.
VAN SUSTEREN: You've got the problem in Nevada.
LEVENSON: That's why we set up a process to identify it.
Every problem that you're racing is a problem that we pointed out. That's important for you viewers to know. We are required to turn over forms. We were required to take forms and turn it over. That's what we were required to do under law.
