ACORN Lawsuit in OH a Victory for Democracy
Republican Secretary of State defied federal election law
Hundreds of thousands of voters likely to benefit from settlement…

-- Guest blogged by Ernest A. Canning

The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) has won a substantive victory on behalf of the voters of Ohio --- perhaps hundreds of thousands of them --- via a court case filed in 2006, challenging a number of voter suppression tactics employed by the state's then Sec. of State, J.
