Yes, We Can — without ACORN!

Senator Barack Obama told the media yesterday that his campaign for President is proving itself to be the best machine in politics and “we don’t need ACORN’s help.”

ACORN’s sloppy voter registration activities have led to fraud investigations in several states, including Missouri. Senator John McCain says that he believes ACORN’s activities could unfairly cost him key battlegrounds states like Florida.

PubDef.net reported two years ago on the problems inside ACORN, most of which stem from the organization recruiting desperate people, giving them very little training or oversight, and paying their workers very little — or not at all.

In 2006, Fox News picked up on our ACORN reports.

Unfortunately, both of these reports featured Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill, who despite the trouble we occasionally cause her, we really do like.
