The
Times is being careful with this one - it's in the hands of some serious investigators, but what is done with the results depends on who is looking at them. Having carefully delayed this until that has its best chance of being under a Democratic administration gives them the best chance to minimize the damage.
We'll hear the whole "it's just a few rogue individuals and some silly administrative mistakes" dismissal beginning right around the second week in November. By inauguration day the whole thing will have been swept under the carpet.
FREEPER COLOMBO'S RESEARCH: ACORN and the Democratic party have a very strange symbiotic/parasitic relationship. On one hand the democratic party pushes for ACORN funding and uses ACORN to get the vote out etc. On the other hand ACORN is holding the Democratic party hostage through what they term as a “viable threat of exit” or the fact that the democrats could not keep power without them. ACORN, through its own political arm (the past New Party and the Working Families Party) has sought to field more and more socialist/progressive candidates as Democrats, thus swinging the party decidedly to the left.
==============================
COMMENTS--- ACORN uses "profiling" techniques WRT who it signs up to vote. Canvassars are briefed on who they can and cannot sign up to vote. CASE IN POINT One FReeper reported being approached by an ACORN canvassar---when the FReeper said he voted Repub, the ACORN canvassar sped off, wanting nothing to do with Repubs. This is an actionable violation of ACORN's non-profit, non-partisan status.
