| ACORN charged with voter registration fraud | |
| 2009-05-05 | |
Nevada authorities are accusing the political advocacy group ACORN and two former employees of illegally paying canvassers to sign up new voters last year.
Nevada Secretary of State Ross Miller and Masto say that's voter registration fraud, and it violates state law banning quotas for registering new voters. A criminal complaint filed in Las Vegas Justice Court accuses ACORN and two former employees of 39 low-level felonies. ACORN spokesman Scott Levenson in New York blames rogue former employees for the allegations. He says ACORN will fight the charges in court. Few organizations are quite so rife with rogue former employees. | |

| #8 Surprise meter would be for who is doing the prosecution. Notice that the party affiliation of the AG is not listed. And in the Pigs Fly department - "We commend the Secretary of State and Attorney General's offices for their work in this investigation," said Phoebe Sweet, director of communications for the Nevada State Democratic Party. "Clearly the system works, and fraudulent registrations were caught and disqualified. And today's action on the part of the Secretary of State and Attorney General will help ensure that unlawful quota systems that encourage fraud are not used in the future." - YJCMTSU |

| #1 No kidding? I thought they only helped the poor, dead, or illegal voters. Not a 4 billion dollar government sponsored entity. Who knew? |
