Barely Blue, Barely Legal?

ACORN hiring ex-criminals for voter registration in Albuquerque, including those convicted of identity theft? Video below. And Barack Obama's shadow campaign organization ACORN busy across the border in Wisconsin. Michelle Malkin picks it up. Tribune:

MADISON, Wis. - Workers registering Milwaukee voters for a liberal group turned in hundreds of fabricated forms and many more that were incomplete, raising fears among Republican Party leaders of fraud at the polls.

The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now fired about a dozen canvassers and alerted the commission to most of the problematic forms. The election commission's director, Sue Edman, said the workers lost their ability to register voters, and the commission is making sure no incomplete or fabricated forms are entered into the voter database.

Six canvassers have been referred to the district attorney's office for potential criminal charges, she said.

The news unnerved Republican Party leaders who believe widespread fraud in the 2004 election may have handed Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry a narrow 11,000-vote victory and fear they will see a replay in 2008.

Hmm, the polls are tight in Wisconsin, a barely blue state Barack Obama wants to keep blue. Barely legal? Video in New Mexico, another key state:
