Why is this a non issue?
At best she is working for some special interest group...who cares. There are 1000s of them on both sides and until it is a group funded by tax dollars (ACORN) they can do what they want.
Call the clerk office and I'll bet she doesn't work there or has any connections...it was painful to watch her to try and think of who she worked for to make it sound important.
At worst it was all staged...

Ignorance of the law is no excuse for breaking it.

Again, WATCH the video. You're being obtuse.
The girl starts out by asking "Would you vote for Obama or Romney."
She claims to be an employee of the County Clerks office - but is only registering one particular party
The cute part was all me, partial to brunettes,

Show me where I specifically said this?(Edit: I didn't even mention the girls looks, so that's on you)
But so far ACORN itself has not been officially charged with any fraud. Aside from the heated charges and counter-charges, no evidence has yet surfaced to show that the ACORN employees who submitted fraudulent registration forms intended to pave the way for illegal voting. Rather, they were trying to get paid by ACORN for doing no work. Dan Satterberg, the Republican prosecuting attorney in King County, Wash., where the largest ACORN case to date was prosecuted, said that the indicted ACORN employees were shirking responsibility, not plotting election fraud.
Satterberg: [A] joint federal and state investigation has determined that this scheme was not intended to permit illegal voting. Instead, the defendants cheated their employer, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (or ACORN), to get paid for work they did not actually perform. ACORN’s lax oversight of their own voter registration drive permitted this to happen. … It was hardly a sophisticated plan: The defendants simply realized that making up names was easier than actually canvassing the streets looking for unregistered voters. … [It] appears that the employees of ACORN were not performing the work that they were being paid for, and to some extent, ACORN is a victim of employee theft.
The $8-an-hour employees were charged with providing false information on voter registration forms, and in one case with making a false statement to a public official. Five of the seven who were charged pleaded guilty . ACORN was fined for exercising insufficient oversight, but it was not charged with masterminding any kind of deliberate fraud.
ACORN pays canvassers by the hour, not by the form, but it does ask them to meet certain registration goals. In ACORN’s Las Vegas office, one employee who admitted to submitting fraudulent registrations said that she did so because she found ACORN’s requirement of 20 registrations per day to be too steep to meet, according to an affidavit by a Nevada state criminal investigator. Local news reports at the time also said that some of the ACORN offices under investigation paid bonuses for each registration, or a higher hourly rate to those who brought in more applications. ACORN’s deputy political director, Kevin Whelan, denies that this is ACORN policy.
