If you’re running for Senate in the Florida Republican primary, I think this is an unhelpful bit of news:

Hasner and other Republicans have long accused the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now of perpetrating voter fraud. But Republican Gov. Charlie Crist pooh-poohed those concerns in Florida last year when John McCain’s presidential campaign tried to make them an issue. And Crist voiced concerns this year when Hasner and other Republicans pushed for heightened restrictions and stiffer penalties for groups like ACORN that specialize in voter-registration and petition drives. The legislation died.
