True North

As I expected, the investigations into ACORN and voter fraud has arrived to our fair state. From KSTP:

The Hennepin County attorney announced Tuesday they’ve launched an investigation into an allegation that an individual with the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN, did not fully comply with Minnesota voter registration rules.

According to the allegation, a batch of registration forms were turned into the office of elections outside the ten-day period, but were turned in early enough to be registered to vote in the September primary.

This may be Obama's October surprise (although ACORN and voter fraud is not a surprise to anyone who's followed the last two elections).

Some of those registration cards have become the focus of fraud investigations in Nevada, Connecticut, Missouri and at least five other competitive states in the November presidential election.

House Republicans have also renewed their push for the Justice Department to investigate the group. Last week, six GOP leaders wrote to Attorney General Michael Mukasey to urge him to make sure ballots by ineligible or fraudulent voters are not counted on Nov. 4.
