MAC’S ACORN SQUASH
The day’s events involving ACORN - which looks to sign up low-income voters - included:
* In Brevard County, Fla., elections officials discovered up to two-thirds of the 1,320 voter registrations delivered by ACORN workers in the past week contained people already on voter rolls, Florida Today reported.
* In Allegheny County, Pa., the DA said there could be criminal charges stemming from up to 100 phony registrations, many of which were handled by ACORN, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
* Several House Republicans asked Attorney General Michael Mukasey to probe whether ACORN actions violated federal laws
