ACORN Executive Pleads No Contest To Election Fraud Conspiracy

By Matthew Vadum on 11.8.10 @ 11:10PM

ACORN executive Amy Busefink has pleaded "no contest" to conspiracy to commit voter registration fraud in Nevada, the Las Vegas Review-Journal is reporting. Sentencing is set for Jan. 10.

Busefink ran the 2010 national voter drive for ACORN's notorious subsidiary, Project Vote, which was President Obama's employer in 1992.

ACORN, which filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy on Election Day to escape its debts, is also charged with multiple counts of the same crime in Nevada.

The bankruptcy filing is a public relations ruse. The group is reorganizing and will reemerge again soon under a new name, according to ACORN historian and housing activist John Atlas, who wrote Seeds of Change.

The nonprofit group's trial is scheduled for Nov. 29 in Las Vegas.

ACORN... I thought they just helped pimps get tax write offs for their underage hookers from El Salvador. I didn't realize they engaged in vote fraud too... \s

All individuals involved with this corruption of government/taxpayers' funds should be convicted and sent to prison. The absuridity of taxpayers' taxed-income being used to promote Democrat voting/registrations is simply an outlandish abuse of power, and anyone, from the President downward, should be charged, tried and convicted of any of their involvements with same!!!!!!!

The "Acorn Workers" were day-laborers paid for each completed voter registration form they turned in to Acorn. Acorn was the victim, as they paid for fake registration forms that the law REQUIRED Acorn to turn in to the voter registrar. (This law prevents any organization from taking voter registrations and then discarding some of them..so even ones signed as Mickey Mouse must be turned in) Despite these cases of voter REGISTRATION fraud, there is so far no evidence that fraudulent votes were cast as a result of anything they did.
