A new project ACORN is engaging in: assisting the Obama Administration in the Census-taking. ACORN has now achieved the status of "national partner" with the U.S. Census Bureau, and will be working to help Obama find the necessary 1.4 million workers needed to take the census. Hopefully they will do this a lot better than they did registering voters in Ohio during the last election campaign, where I believe the news was 8 of their workers made a quick plea deal to falsifying registrations with a sympathetic prosecutor and promptly left the state. In responding to the announcement, the ACORN spokesman also told the press "ACORN has never been charged with any crime."

Liberal election lawyers are quick to point out that ACORN actually isn’t going to be running the Census, just staffing it.
