October 18, 2008 WASHINGTON An ACORN community organizer received a death threat and the liberal-leaning voter registration group's Boston and <http://www.baltimoresun.com/topic/us/washington/king-county/seattle-PLGEO100101101011245.topic>Seattle offices were vandalized Thursday, reflecting mounting tensions over its role in registering 1.3 million mostly poor and minority Americans to vote next month. Attorneys for the Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now were notifying the <http://www.baltimoresun.com/topic/crime-law-justice/crimes/federal-bureau-of-investigation-ORGOV000008.topic>FBI and the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division of the incidents, said Brian Kettenring, a Florida-based spokesman for the group. It was disclosed Thursday that the FBI is examining whether thousands of fraudulent voter-registration applications submitted by some ACORN workers were part of a systematic effort or isolated incidents. Kettenring said that a senior ACORN staffer in Cleveland, after appearing on television this week, got an e-mail that said she "is going to have her life ended." A female staffer in Providence, R.I., got a threatening call from someone who said words to the effect of "We know you get off work at 9," then uttered racial epithets, he said.
