I know of three "video scandals" and this one... Please enlighten me on the 26 others.
Here's a partial list:
AR- 1998- A contractor with ACORN-affiliated Project Vote was arrested for falsifying about 400 voter registration cards.
CO- 2005- Two ex-ACORN employees were convicted in Denver of perjury for submitting false voter registrations.
CO- 2004- An ACORN employee admitted to forging signatures and registering three of her friends to vote 40 times.
IN- 2008- Election officials in Indiana have thrown out more than 4,000 ACORN-submitted voter registrations after finding they had identical handwriting and included the names of many deceased Indianans, and even the name of a fast food restaurant.
MI- 2008- Clerks in Detroit found a "sizeable number of duplicate and fraudulent [voter] applications" from the Michigan branch of ACORN.
MO- 2008- Nearly 400 ACORN-submitted registrations in Kansas City have been rejected due to duplication or fake information.
MO- 2006- Eight ACORN employees in St. Louis were indicted on federal election fraud charges. Each of the eight faces up to five years in prison for forging signatures and submitting false information.
NM- 2004- An ACORN employee registered a 13-year-old boy to vote.
OH- 2008- ACORN activists gave Ohio residents cash and cigarettes in exchange for filling out voter registration card, according to the New York Post. Some voters claim to have registered dozens of times, and one man says he signed up on 72 cards.
PA- 2008- State election officials have thrown out 57,435 voter registrations, the majority of which were submitted by ACORN. The registrations were thrown out after officials found "clearly fraudulent" signatures, vacant lots listed as addresses, and other signs of fraud.
PA- 2008- An ACORN employee in West Reading, PA, was sentenced to up to 23 months in prison for identity theft and tampering with records.
TX- 2008- In Harris County, nearly 10,000 ACORN-submitted registrations were found to be invalid, including many with clearly fraudulent addresses or other personal information.
VA- 2005- In 2005, the Virginia State Board of Elections admonished Project Vote and ACORN for turning in a significant number of faulty voter registrations. An audit revealed that 83% of sampled registrations that were rejected for carrying false or questionable information were submitted by Project Vote.
WA- 2007- Three ACORN employees pleaded guilty, and four more were charged, in the worst case of voter registration fraud in Washington state history. More than 2,000 fraudulent voter registration cards were submitted by the group during a voter registration drive.
INDICTMENTS

NV- 2009- Nevada authorities indicted ACORN on 26 counts of voter registration fraud and 13 counts of illegally compensating canvassers. ACORN provided a bonus compensation program called “Blackjack” or “21+” for any canvasser who registered more than 20 voters per shift, which is illegal under Nevada law.
OH- 2007- A man in Reynoldsburg was indicted on two felony counts of illegal voting and false registration, after being registered by ACORN to vote in two separate counties.

In Cuyahoga County, ACORN and its affiliate Project Vote submitted registration cards that had the highest rate of errors for any voter registration group.
PA- 2009- Seven ACORN workers in the Pittsburgh area were indicted for submitting falsified voter registration forms. Six of the seven were also indicted for registering voters under an illegal quota system.
ACORN is ensuring that it never receives federal grant money again.
It's too bad that an organization with a pretty noble mission statement has such issues. I agree they dont' deserve any federal funding until this mess is cleared up!!!

DOWN with any BULL**** organizations like ACORN......and EVERYONE who ever supported them or financed them!
Corrupt, loser organization backed by.......none other than?
They totally meet the criteria for an organization of racketeering, conspiracy, operating an ongoing criminal enterprise, fraud, theft, tax evasion and about everything else the former Italian Mafia would be so proud of......especially since they never received Federal Tax money like ACORN has.
How unfair!

I'm sure you can look up these cases individually if you really wanted to know more about them. This isn't even a complete list and I think it doesn't include the recent patriot who punked the ACORN offices.
