Motion for expedited discovery denied in Pennsylvania Republican Party suit
The Pennsylvania Republican Party has not made very speedy progress so far in its suit against ACORN and was today denied a motion for expedited discovery by the Commonwealth Court. One report claims a new witness's testimony will be presented in the case. The witness once worked for ACORN and will reportedly testify that the group did minimal verification of the registrations they collected. The documents for this case do not appear to be readily available. The docket sheet was all that could be found and is linked above.
