FBI launches nationwide investigation into ACORN fraud

The FBI is beginning an important investigation into the shady movement's activities around the US (Hat tip: Hot Air):

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 on Thursday. 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.

Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity because regulatons forbid discussing ongoing investigations particularly so close to an election.

It's time to close down ACORN once and for all.
