COLUMBUS, Ohio - A federal judge has recommended the dismissal of a lawsuit brought by a conservative group against an organization that promotes voter participation through registration drives.
Magistrate Judge Timothy Black in Cincinnati released the opinion Wednesday in the suit brought by the Buckeye Institute against the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, known as ACORN.
The lawsuit alleged that ACORN's voter registration drives amounted to organized crime because the group turned in a pattern of fraudulent forms.
A district court judge must sign off on the recommendation for the suit to be thrown out. The Buckeye Institute will have a chance to object.
