Washington (AP) - The FBI is investigating whether the community activist group ACORN helped foster voter registration fraud around the nation before the presidential election.
A senior law enforcement official confirmed the investigation to The Associated Press. A second senior law enforcement official says the FBI was looking at results of inquiries in several states, including a raid on ACORN's office in Las Vegas, for any evidence of a coordinated national effort.
Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity because Justice Department regulations forbid discussing ongoing investigations particularly so close to an election.
Two spokesmen for ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, on Thursday said the FBI has not contacted the group.
"ACORN has not been notified that we are the target of an investigation by any authorities - nor should we be," spokesman Kevin Whelan said in a statement. "ACORN members have done a good and patriotic thing by helping bring more than a million of their fellow citizens into our democratic process."
Week old news.
Sounds like just another report but nothing will be done. Jorge bush could make an impact if he wanted.
Too little Too late. Will not sway ONE single undecided voter (how can anyone be undecided - brains full of mush).
I like these stories staying “Front and Center” because if some of the street-level perps of this fraud think “the heat is on”, it might curtail their illegal activities somewhat (I think this is what the RATs call “disenfranchisement”).
I would like to see a story that straight out says “we are watching” and if you commit vote fraud you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.....and then some :)
It is tongue in cheek. Was anyone arrested?
Where’s the RICO investigation headed by Patrick Fitzgerald that we heard about from the PUMAs?
So many false hopes.

Police fear riots if Barack Obama loses US election
US police fear riots could break out if John McCain, the Republican presidential candidate, wins the election next month.
“...Meanwhile, in a blog posting entitled ‘A McCain “Win” Will Be Theft, Resistance Is Planned’, David Swanson, Washington director of Democrats.com and a board member of Progressive Democrats of America, writes: “If your television declares John McCain the president elect on the evening of November 4th, your television will be lying.
“You should immediately pick up your pre-packed bags and head straight to the White House in Washington, DC, which we will surround and shut down until this attempt at a third illegitimate presidency is reversed.
“We may be there for days or weeks or months. But we must be there. We must be there by the millions. We must show each other, and the nation, and the world that we have had enough, that we will not stand for one more stolen election, that we will not give in to fear, lies, theft, and intimidation.”
that’s ok, you’re welcome...just call me Fred.
