Blair Latoff, spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee, commented at the time: “Barack Obama’s failure to accurately report his campaign’s financial records is an incredibly suspicious situation that appears to be an attempt to hide his campaign’s interaction with a left-wing organization previously convicted of voter fraud. For a candidate who claims to be practicing ‘new’ politics, his FEC reports look an awful lot like the ‘old style’ Chicago politics of yesterday.” A spokesman for the Obama campaign said any errors were inadvertent and would be immediately corrected.
ACORN and Team Obama were linked again in October 2008, when Anita MonCrief, a former Washington staffer for Project Vote, another subsidiary of ACORN, testified in a court case in Pennsylvania. She claimed that she was told by her supervisor that a list of possible Project Vote donors she was given had come from the Obama campaign. MonCrief testified she was also given a “development plan” that explained how Project Vote was to solicit support from maxed-out Obama donors, and she was tasked with carrying it out."
