Could be. Registration drive group ACORN submitted voter registrations in Nevada for the entire lineup of the Dallas Cowboys. While the Nevada Secretary of State flagged these registrations, Investors Business Daily has a chilling report on the voter registration problems all across the country. The Dallas Cowboy registrations were only part of the problem in Nevada, leading authorities to raid ACORN's Las Vegas offices.

And of course, here in Washington there is that problem of underage teens registering to vote before they're 18. (More on that story from NPR affiliate 88.5 KPLU.)

Why should anyone care? Because every invalid registration leads to a potential invalid vote, which cancels out a legal vote. Voter fraud is the ultimate disenfranchisement.
