ACORN has been at the center of a number of controversies in Minnesota politics. Not the least of which is the close relationship between Attorney General Lori Swanson, former Attorney General Mike Hatch, and current Secretary of State Mark Ritchie. Hatch and Swanson have donated large sums of state lawsuit spoils to ACORN.

ACORN PAC has donated large sums to Hatch, Swanson, and Ritchie's campaign funds.
Eight states have filed lawsuits or launched investigations into fraudulent voter registrations generated by ACORN street teams. Minnesota should join that list and launch a comprehensive audit of ACORN voter registrations submitted to Minnesota.

Anything short of a comprehensive investigation is unacceptable.

It's time for democrats and republicans to come together and immediately suspend state funding of ACORN until an independent audit is completed.
