While it has been extremely difficult to prove that any voter fraud has taken place with respect to ACORN (and other similar efforts), it is extremely easy to see that an accusation of fraud, however nebulous, does have measurable political merit when a candidate can be tied to it.
There are people in jail for false accusation on this topic. No one is in jail for voter fraud, are they? I suppose that's because of the liberal bias in law enforcement now?
Noise in the voter registration system is a problem, but Occam's razor will tell you that the source of the problem is pretty obvious when you look at the workforce doing the registrations.
Occam's razor also will answer the question of why this keeps coming up, as you say. And that reason is not that ACORN is succeeding, or even attempting, voter fraud.
