ACORN, the liberal group vilified for allegedly trying to inflate the voter rolls with fraudulent voters, is leaving Ohio.

The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now reached a legal agreement with a conservative public-policy group today that requires it to file a certificate permanently surrendering its business license in Ohio by June 1.

The settlement extinguishes a lawsuit by two Warren County voters alleging that ACORN diluted their vote through a pattern of corrupt practices, namely fraudulent voter registrations. The voters were represented by the 1851 Center for Constitutional Law, the legal arm of the conservative Buckeye Institute for Public Policy Solutions.

The center’s lawyer, Maurice A. Thompson, said the settlement is mostly confidential but permanently bars ACORN from doing business in Ohio or reconstituting as another group and perpetuating its practices.

ACORN’s lawyer, Alfonse Gerhardstein, said the organization already ceased its operations “for reasons unrelated to this litigation.”

In Franklin County local elections officials had to toss out numerous ACORN voter registration forms in 2006, but by working closely with the group in 2008 greatly reduced the number of problem forms.
