ACORN filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy

While you were out voting and watching the returns, ACORN was filing for bankruptcy.  I'd like to think "good riddance," but I think Obama will see this as an opportunity for another bailout.

ACORN, a national organization whose mission included registering and turning out low-income and minority voters, announced on this election day that it was filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Founded in 1970, the Assn. of Community Organizations for Reform Now had in recent years become a target of conservatives who accused the group of engaging in widespread voter fraud. It was forced to scale back its efforts after a scandal erupted, centered around undercover video footage that purported to show ACORN staff helping young activists posing as a pimp and prostitute engage in illegal activity.
