"Pennsylvania's Republican Party sued the state's top election official and the community activist group ACORN, accusing the group of fostering voter registration fraud and asserting that the election system lacks adequate safeguards to stop it.

"The stakes in this action are enormously high: Unless this court acts quickly and decisively, the right to Pennsylvania's 21 electoral votes may be determined by illegal ballots," said the lawsuit filed Friday in Commonwealth Court.

Key Democrats dismissed the suit as a GOP ploy to unnecessarily alarm voters at a time when polls in this battleground state show Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama with a double-digit lead over Republican John McCain. The Nov. 4 election is nearly three weeks away.

"The Republicans' frivolous lawsuit is not about voter protection," said Democratic State Chairman T.J. Rooney. "It's about the Republicans' realization that Pennsylvanians have had enough of the failed economic policies of George Bush and John McCain."
