NUTS! FBI probes ACORN voter fraud

Just when ACORN and the Obama campaign thought they were going to steal the 2008 presidential election before anyone noticed, those pesky agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation are on the case.

The Association Press has confirmed that the FBI has launched an investigation of the pro-Obama group ACORN for voter fraud.

Specifically, the FBI wants to find out if ACORN is behind "a coordinated national scam" involving phony voter registrations.

At least 14 states are investigating ACORN-related voter fraud allegations within their borders.

ACORN stands for the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now. The organization received $830,000 from the Obama campaign earlier this year to help register voters for Obama.

ACORN officials have said they registered 1.3 million new voters so far.

The Republican National Committee claims at least 200,000 of those registrations involve voter fraud.
