This past May charges of voter fraud were brought up against the Nevada arm of the President's favorite community organizers, ACORN.

The state alleged that ACORN had policies requiring employees in Vegas to sign up 20 new voters a day or be fired. And, if you turn in 21 or more new registrations, you get a blackjack and a bonus of $5 per shift (hey it is Vegas).

It's against the law in Nevada to pay individual registrants to register people based on the total number of people that you've registered. That's a felony in Nevada.

Nevada officials just announced that Christopher Edwards, the head of the Nevada operations, has pleaded guilty and will testify against other ACORN programs:

If this had been Bush or McCain or any other R they would have run 24/7 marathon coverage.

ACORN, fraud???? No way/sarc ping

[gathersnomoss]

Acorn sure as hell better stay away from my home!

This could be big. It could affect their taxpayer funding.

Off topic, but something I noted in the article:

A lengthy report recently published by the House Committee on Government Reform reveals that ACORN has repeatedly and deliberately engaged in systematic fraud and that the group hides behind a paper wall of nonprofit corporate protections to conceal a criminal conspiracy on the part of its directors, to launder federal money in order to pursue a partisan political agenda and to manipulate the American electorate.

Guess who else has their own personal family non-profit? Rahm Emanuel. BTW, Emanuel apparently does not pay taxes on his family home in Chicago...

I can just see some puffed up ACORN goon saying (in his most haughty voice), “Don't you know who I am??” With the big emphasis on “I”.

[who knows what evil?]

Somewhere; Glenn Beck is grinning like a cheshire cat...

[BuckeyeTexan]

OMG!

Fantastic news. I hope this leads immediately to the suspension of ACORN’s activities with the census, then suspension of all federal funds to ACORN, then investigations of all other ACORN organizations, then prosecution of the criminals, and confiscation of all of their funds.

Ya think a witness protection program can keep him safe until he testifies?

[traderrob6]

“the head of the Nevada operations has pleaded guilty and will testify against other ACORN programs”

That is if he lives that long.

[windcliff]

It must be some sort of mistake.

[mancini]

Nice, he’s talkin’!

[Oldpuppymax]

Question is, will the guy LIVE to testify?
