THE NEW YORK POST ON THE FEDS’ ACORN INVESTIGATION:

After weeks of reports of wide spread fraud, the FBI has opened an investigation into the far-left “community organizer” group’s nationwide voter-registration campaign.

Talk about bolting the barn after the horses are out. It’s extremely unlikely that anything significant will come of it before Election Day.

Still, the fact that the Justice Department has gotten involved signifies an appreciation that what ACORN has tried to portray as the inevitably haphazard efforts of local organizers is more likely a nationwide, coordinated voter-registration scam.

Frankly, it seems to be far too widespread to be anything but that.

Read the whole thing.

UPDATE: Charges of ACORN-like registration fraud on behalf of the GOP, too. I almost hope we’ll see more of this, as it’s the only way to get the press to pay serious attention to the issue . . . .

And at the risk of repeating myself, all of this is just more evidence that we need to make the voting system more trustworthy.
