As a bit of background, ACORN is a “community activist group that advocates for the poor” in areas such as housing and get out the vote (GOTV) projects. Senator Obama worked for them while he was a community organizer, represented them as an attorney in lawsuits twice, and gave them $850,000 this year to GOTV.
Minnesota now joins 12 other states in which ACORN is under investigation for voter registration fraud…. Massive fraud.
From The Star Trib
The Hennepin County Attorney’s office said today it is investigating whether a voter registration processing lapse at the Minnesota ACORN office falls within guidelines for criminal prosecution….
Despite the recent controversy over ACORN voter registration practices, the grass-roots community organization’s policies appear to be in compliance with state law, Deputy Hennepin County Attorney Pat Diamond said this afternoon. If the county finds cause for prosecution, it likely would focus on individuals. Diamond declined to speculate what kinds of charges could be pursued, or what kind of penalty would be possible.
Organizations are given a 10-day filing period intended to prevent a last-minute backlog of registrations at county elections offices. ACORN officials declined to say exactly how many cards were affected, or how far outside the window they were submitted.

The thing that bothers me the most out of this story is the moral relativism that so many people have about it: “The Republicans stole Florida in 2000, so even if its true (ACORN large scale voter fraud) then its no big deal since we’re just fighting back”.
Excellently put Dunkle. I agree. The payback factor is in full effect and it’s wrong.
I wonder if my brother the obot is working for ACORN there. That and wearing one of those disgusting t-shirts would be right up his alley. Thanks for the heads up on the next domino in the chain Texas!
