Below is a sampling of cases in which ACORN or its employees were convicted of crimes related to voter registration.
Between 2009 and 2011, a former field director, a former regional director, and ACORN itself were convicted of conspiracy to commit the crime of compensation for registration of voters in Nevada. It was illegal for registration canvassers to receive compensation based on the number of voters registered. Charges stated that ACORN paid a $5 bonus to canvassers who turned in 21 registration forms.[8][9][10]
In 2009, Latoya Lewis pleaded guilty to repeatedly registering individuals when she worked for ACORN in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.[11]In 2008, eight former ACORN employees pleaded guilty to registration fraud during a registration drive in St. Louis, Missouri, in 2006.[12]
In 2007, five people in Washington pleaded guilty to registration fraud charges related to work they did as ACORN employees and were sentenced to jail time.[13] ACORN agreed to pay King County $25,000 for investigative costs. The group also signed an agreement to “beef up its training and procedures for detecting and reporting fraud,” according to The Seattle Times.[14][15]
In 2007, three former ACORN workers in Kansas City, Missouri, pleaded guilty to charges of voter registration fraud.[16] Claudia Harris, chairperson of Kansas City ACORN, said in a statement released after the former employees were indicted, “When we caught this misconduct, we reporter [sic] it to the authorities. Now we want to see these folks prosecuted to the full extent of the law, because they have defrauded our organization, and, worse, detracted from our mission of ensuring that citizens in our community participate in the democratic process.”[17]
In Colorado in January 2005, two people were sentenced to community service for submitting false voter registrations while working for ACORN.[18] ACORN’s regional director said after the two were charged, “We find it abhorrent and do everything we can to prevent it from happening.”[19]
