The GAO released its report yesterday that reviewed ACORN's federal funding at the request of the ACORN-bashing members of Congress and found no evidence of fraud, lax oversight or misuse of federal funds.
The GAO also conducted a comprehensive review of all criminal investigations of ACORN by the Department of Justice and federal Inspector General’s since 2005. The report said that of six FBI investigations into ACORN-related voter fraud all had been dropped because of lack of evidence. Only cases against individuals working for ACORN were prosecuted....and ACORN provided information to local election officials that helped initiate prosecutions against their employees who may have been involved in voter registration fraud.”
The agency also found the Federal Election Commission had closed all investigations into voter fraud by the group.
GAO report
Looks to me like ACORN did nothing criminal or even unethical, on the grant side or the political/voter registration side...despite all the presumption of guilt bandied about by its political enemies.
