GOP Warns Of ACORN Problems In Illinois

It appears that the GOP believe so strongly in their false claims that the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) is out to commit "election fraud" that they're now issuing warnings in places where the group isn't even registering voters.

Illinois GOP attorney Brien Sheahan sent a letter to Chicago-area election officials yesterday cautioning them to be on the lookout for the activities of "so-called community groups" such as ACORN.

But according to officials in two of the state's largest election authorities -- Chicago and Cook County -- it's been years since ACORN registered voters in the area. In fact, ACORN headquarters told us that the group hasn't participated in voter registration drives anywhere in Illinois during the 2008 election season.
