oh thank you for bringing this up. An article in the Albuquerque Journal yesterday (the one I generally refer to as "the local Bush apologist rag") connected the dots an ACORN and voter suppression efforts in New Mexico. It is official -- these allegations do in fact stem from the same individual, a GOP lawyer, who made the same allegations in the last elections, when they were so thoroughly debunked last time. The same lawyer hired the investigator who showed up at the door of a couple of elderly women asking them why they thought the should be able to vote. Let me see if I can find a link on that; the Journal used to require an account. But I read this on paper this morning at breakfast. It's definitely there and in a mainstream newspaper, and a newspaper known for its pro-business pro-Republican leanings at that.
Oh and their coverage also confirmed what I suspected but had not yet seen explicitly spelled out -- the "bogus" registrations were in fact the pile of flagged cards, which ACORN must by law submit or face a fine of $1000 per card.
