Is ACORN Paying Ohio Voters to Vote for Obama?

One day before Texans and Ohioans cast their votes, a number of polls show both contests looking too close to call. The blogger/reporter/pundit classes are putting the smart money on Obama winning Texas and Clinton winning Ohio. The only major poll showing Obama with a lead in Ohio is Zogby, who has had a mixed record this cycle.

The Moderate Voice says liberal activist group ACORN is paying people in Ohio to vote canvas for Obama. I suppose that's one way to boost the state's economy.

Meanwhile, while some local blogs are questioning a Columbus-Dispatch poll showing Clinton with a supposed 16 point edge.

CQ Politics' own Greg Giroux provides a helpful primer on why tomorrow's Texas results may be murky.

UPDATE:  ACORN is paying individuals to canvas for Obama, not literally paying them to vote for him.
A Wiki history of ACORN's previous conviction for, and other allegations of, violating election law can be found here.
