Dave Weigel reports that the Doug Hoffman campaign is accusing the Owens camp of bringing in the dreaded ACORN and stealing the election.

PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. – At a short press availability in his campaign office here, NY-23 Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman said that a GOTV volunteer’s tires had been slashed, and all but blamed Democrats for the dirty trick.

“There are reports that they’re bringing in the troops and they’re bringing in ACORN,” said Hoffman. “I think the Democrats are doing anything they possibly can to steal this election away from the 23rd district.”
