House Republican Leader John Boehner today urged the Administration to cut-off funds to ACORN, the "nonprofit" group accused of voter fraud on behalf of Democrats in 12 states, that has received $31 million from the Federal government in the past nine years.
"It is evident that ACORN is incapable of using Federal funds in a manner consistent with law," said Boehner, echoing my calls over the weekend published in the Christian Science Monitor that ACORN has become, essentially, a racketeering outfit by virtue of voter fraud claims so bad, one person was registered to vote by them over 70 times in an Obama-leaning precinct in Ohio.
Liberal election lawyers are fit-to-be-tied on the election law blogs about the recent ACORN revelations. (Some must be paid by ACORN or its subsidiaries!) Their rationalizations for ACORN range from "they are a central organization overseeing nonprofits" to "failure to be tax exempt is not uncommon for a nonprofit." ACORN claims to be a "nonprofit" but can’t produce an "IRS tax determination letter" critical to nonprofit status under Federal law.
I am sure there will be more to post on this in the next few days!!!
