We’d already reported that ACORN had closed all of its offices in the state of Michigan. The Metro Times confirms that the organization that found itself under attack, primarily by conservative politicians and interest groups over its voter registration program, has no operations at all in the state of Michigan.

But late last year, after the federal government illegally cut off funding to the nonprofit and threatened to do the same to any other entity either affiliated or even associated with the group, ACORN in Michigan shut down all operations.

How interesting, then, that the Republican candidates for Secretary of State continue to use the group as a whipping boy and promise to do whatever it takes to stop a group that no longer exists in Michigan at all.
