NYP: 1 Voter, 72 Registrations 'Acorn Paid Me In Cash & Cigs'

In a piece in the New York Post, it says:
CLEVELAND - A man at the center of a voter-registration scandal told The Post yesterday he was given cash and cigarettes by aggressive ACORN activists in exchange for registering an astonishing 72 times, in apparent violation of Ohio laws.

"Sometimes, they come up and bribe me with a cigarette, or they'll give me a dollar to sign up," said Freddie Johnson, 19, who filled out 72 separate voter-registration cards over an 18-month period at the behest of the left-leaning Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now.
Nobody is suggesting that all of these fraudulent votes would slip by. If they did, Ohio would go down as having the most Democratic voters of any state - even California. It's all about the quantity. This man registered 72 times. Even if people were to vote using his 72 registered named, odds are that 72 votes for Senator Obama wouldn't get by. However, the Democrats are banking on a few will. Maybe two or three will.

How would we even begin to try to correct this mess?
