UPDATE on ACORN

As noted previously, ACORN, a supposed get-out-the-vote group that pushes for liberal and progressive candidates, and who Barack Obama once represented, is now under investigation for voter fraud in at least 11 states. They are under investigation in:

Indiana, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Nevada, which included an FBI raid, Ohio, including apparent bribery, Connecticut, North Carolina, New Mexico, Wisconsin, Florida, Michigan.

In fact, ACORN representatives in Ohio note that they couldn't stop it even if they tried. In fact, they blame the local elections board for not reviewing election cards; which is precisely their point. Groups like ACORN don't want local or state election authorities reviewing voter registration cards, that's why states like Ohio have registration laws that are ripe for voter fraud, and a Secretary of State that is patently encouraging it.

All of this is coupled with a lawsuit progressing in Louisiana over alleged corruption and embezzlement by ACORN leaders.

So, an organization that openly admits it can't stop voter fraud from happening, that engages in potential bribery and other shady activities (including hiring felons to engage in voter registration) and is an organization that not only endorsed Obama, but is organization that hired Obama as their lawyer in at least one lawsuit, invited Obama to help train activists, and, according to Obama himself, "I've been fighting alongside ACORN on issues you care about my entire career. Even before I was an elected official, when I ran Project Vote voter registration drive in Illinois, ACORN was smack dab in the middle of it, and we appreciate your work", run Project Vote, a get-out-the-vote organization that is affiliated with ACORN, and is using all its means to get one of their own elected president.

It's high time that Obama is made to answer for his association with radical, fringe groups and people, and not simply pooh-pooh them as some crazy ex-girlfriend(s) from his past.
