FOIA Documents Show Obama Justice Department Coordinating Voter Registration Drives With ACORN’s Project Vote…

Readers will also recall that ACORN activists have long been involved in voter registration fraud, either directly or through its Project Vote affiliate.

Despite all this, documents obtained recently by Judicial Watch via the Freedom of Information Act suggest that President Obama -- who was employed by Project Vote as a community organizer early in his career -- and Attorney General Eric Holder have no qualms about working closely with present and former ACORN and Project Vote operatives on voter registration drives aimed at people on public assistance.

Arizona strikes back: State investigates feds over gun-running

It's a turnaround from the rest of the immigration issue, where the federal government has sued to block the state's own set of laws.
