FBI investigates ACORN for alleged fraud
Officials say FBI is looking at results of office raids in several states
Associated Press, via MSNBC.com
WASHINGTON - The FBI is investigating whether the community activist group ACORN helped foster voter registration fraud around the nation before the presidential election.
A senior law enforcement official confirmed the investigation to The Associated Press. A second senior law enforcement official says the FBI was looking at results of recent raids on ACORN offices in several states for any evidence of a coordinated national scam.
NoLandGrab: ACORN signed the "affordable housing" memorandum of understanding with Bruce Ratner. Should Atlantic Yards be built, the organization will be under contract to administer the "affordable housing" units.
However, if many of these allegations prove true, then ACORN might become too "toxic" to maintain its major-player status in NYC politics.
