Hear the inside scoop on ACORN

A lawyer involved with a lawsuit against ACORN, or the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, has told WND that the organization is aware of the problems that are generated for elections officials when thousands or even millions of registrations are dumped into the system just before a deadline.

The comments came from Heather Heidelbaugh, the vice president of the Republican National Lawyers Association, today.

She also testified before Congress on the issue.

Her comments came in an interview with RadioAmerica.org.

She reports she sued ACORN in Pennsylvania during the 2008 election when the organization, with whom President President Barack Obama has a long history, was being investigated by four different jurisdictions in just that state.

"They hire people who are very poorly equipped to do the kind of work, or not trained at all," she said.

"They they tell workers is to walk up to individuals and ask if they voted in the last election. They don't ask them if they're registered. That produces thousands if not millions of duplicate registrations. It burdens local election officials to the extent they have to extend their work hours, and they are unable to properly process registrations," she said.

The GOP has said ACORN is little more than a front organization for Democrats, even though it is supposed to be nonpartisan.

It also was just announced that ACORN is one of the groups picked by the government to do a major part of the 2010 Census work, which will kick off in about a year.
