That day, Congress voted to defund ACORN. It wasn’t even close—the House voted 345–75, and the Senate voted 85–11 to end ACORN’s cash flow. The Democrats largely did it to cover their asses, but at least one Democrat seemed truly upset. “I am outraged at the actions of ACORN’s employees and believe they should be penalized to the full extent of the law,” said Rep. Zack Space (D-OH). “Our government must be vigilant in ensuring that organizations that are found to act fraudulently do not receive taxpayer dollars.”4
