The Watertown Daily News reported last night, regarding Hoffman's allegations that ACORN stole the NY-23 elections, etc: "Jerry O. Eaton, Jefferson County Republican elections commissioner, called Mr. Hoffman's assertion “absolutely false.”

“No one has touched those ballots or has access to those ballots except board of elections staff - and in a bipartisan manner,” he said.

6. Isn't Hoffman breaking the law by withholding evidence of a crime?

Seems to me if he has evidence, by law he needs to turn it over to law enforcement.

10. This behavior might at least keep him from getting support in 2010

I would assume that this really has angered the local Republican officials, who are responsible for running the elections.
