WASHINGTON, March 11 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, announced today that it has obtained documents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) detailing federal investigations into the alleged corrupt activities of Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN). The documents reference serious allegations of corruption and voter registration fraud by ACORN as well as the Obama administration's decision to shut down a criminal investigation without filing criminal charges.

The documents include background information on two specific complaints filed in October 2008 by Lucy Corelli and Joseph Borges, Republican Registrars of Voters in Stamford and Bridgeport, Connecticut, respectively, during the 2008 election season.

According to Corelli, on August 1, 2008, her office received 1,200 ACORN voter registration cards from the Secretary of State's office. Over 300 of these cards were rejected because of "duplicates, underage, illegible and invalid addresses," which "put a tremendous strain on our office staff and caused endless work hours at taxpayers' expense." Corelli claimed the total cost of the extra work caused by ACORN corruption was $20,000. Likewise, Borges contended that: "The organization ACORN during the summer of 2008 conducted a registration drive which has produced over 100 rejections due to incomplete forms and individuals who are not citizens..." Among the examples cited by Borges was a seven-year old child who was registered to vote by ACORN through the use of a forged signature and a fake birth certificate claiming she was 27-years old.

The FBI and Department of Justice opened an investigation. However, the Obama Justice Department, while noting that ACORN had engaged in "questionable hiring and training practices," closed down the investigation in March 2009, claiming ACORN broke no laws.

And then on the way home I hear on the radio the republicans are investigating the Democrats for corruption.
That's like the Mafia making a federal case out of someone caught jay walking.

I'm thinking they think they have the courts stacked enough to just take over.

2. I had to review the papers Judaical Watch obtained from the FBI

I reviewed just a few of them and kept running across FBI agents stating "Although ACORN appears to have engaged in questionable hiring and training practices...there is nothing to suggest ACORN violated any state or federal election law". If that is what the FBI kept finding the Department of Justice has to end the investigation for no crime has been committed.

3. Good. Now can we investigate Ohio?

Diebold? Florida? You want fraud in elections, there has been plenty, but it's been perpetrated by Republicans.
