BARACK OBAMA

ACORN Under Investigation, Yet Again, This Time in Pennsylvania

Hey, would it be easier just to list the places where ACORN isn't under investigation? This article mentions, "ACORN is not affiliated with either presidential candidate", but that's not entirely accurate. Obama worked for ACORN in the past and ACORN's Political Action Committee has endorsed Obama.

Right here in Allegheny County District Attorney Stephen Zappala confirms an investigation of potential voter fraud involving ACORN and other organizations.

"ACORN is part of this but there are other applications which have been filed which appear to have fraudulent signatures and fraudulent identifications of individuals," Zappala said.

Currently the election bureau is reviewing some 45,000 new registration applications and Zappala says some of them have forged signatures of people who may or may not exist.

"There are clearly people on these applications who have not either been solicited or may not exist and the signatures are clearly not - they're forgeries," Zappala says.

Sources say there are between 200 and 300 questionable registrations currently under investigation, and most of them were submitted by ACORN.
