WEST CHESTER, Ohio, Oct. 17 (UPI) -- Sarah Palin called on Barack Obama's campaign to release communications it's had with the group accused of voter registration fraud in several U.S. states.

During a campaign event in West Chester, Pa., the Republican vice presidential nominee charged the Democratic contender is "kind of fuzzying up his connections to ACORN," the Association of Community Activists for Reform Now.

The community-based non-profit's voter registration drive has come under fire by Republicans and is under federal investigation in several states.

"Now, ACORN is under investigation for rampart voter fraud in 13 states," she told supporters. "John (McCain) and I are calling on the Obama campaign to release communications it has had with this group and to do so immediately."
