Capitolwire: GOP lacks grounds to sue, ACORN says

HARRISBURG (Oct. 23) – Republicans have no standing to sue ACORN, a community organizing group that says it registered 140,000 low-income Pennsylvanians to vote, a lawyer for the group argued at a Commonwealth Court hearing Thursday.

“Article III of the Constitution says a plaintiff must have suffered an injury” to have standing to sue, said Kathryn Simpson, a Harrisburg attorney representing ACORN. “There is no voter fraud. There has been no election. … And until there is voter fraud, there is no injury. That injury must be concrete, not conjectural or hypothetical.”
