Finding POL-5.12: Primary record TIGTA found that from early 2010 the IRS selected exemption applications by names and policy positions, and that every application with "Tea Party," "Patriots" or "9/12" in its name was processed as a potential political case. The criteria TIGTA reviewed also included "Progressive," Occupy, ACORN Successors and Emerge, and 6 of 20 applications with "progress" or "progressive" in the name (30 percent) were processed as potential political cases.
