A former Project Vote employee testified in court that the organization was provided a "donor list" from the presidential campaign of Barack Obama in late 2007 for fundraising efforts. Project Vote is a sister organization of ACORN.
Anita Moncrief said her supervisor told her the list of campaign contributors came from the Obama campaign. Moncrief said she has a copy of a "development plan" that outlines how Obama contributors who had "maxed out" under federal contribution limits would be targeted to give to Project Vote, and that it was her job to identify such contributors. A Republican lawyer submitted a computer disk of the Obama database to Commonwealth Court Judge Robert Simpson.[1]

Denial of allegation
Project Vote national spokesman Michael McDunnah denied that the list came from Obama's campaign, saying that the same list could be attained from the Federal Elections website.[1]
The Obama campaign had a similar response. "Our campaign has not coordinated with ACORN whatsoever on any voter registration activities," said Obama spokesman Sean Smith.[1]
Firing
Moncrief said she was fired from the Project Vote organization for charging personal expenses to a company credit card.[1]
