Let me try this again - you think I should not be upset about the fraud because "voter registration fraud is different than voter fraud." The first is a precursor to the second. Both are fraud and I feel the same about both of them. An untainted electoral process is the cornerstone of a republic.
I didn't say shut down the agency. If there are people stupid enough to donate money to ACORN, they can operate off of that - the way all other charities operate. I said cut federal funding until the allegations are proven false.
You seem to think because "only 5 low-level offices" were complicit in tax fraud, loan fraud and human trafficking of underage sex slaves that it is isolated. My take is that, if 5 offices won't bat an eye over these things, imagine all of the smaller fraud that occurs every single day on tax forms and loan applications filed by ACORN in general. The same fraud but without the over-the-top storyline. That is the point that none of you seem to want to accept.
