LAS VEGAS -- A former supervisor for the defunct political advocacy group ACORN agreed to a plea deal Monday in a case alleging that canvassers were illegally paid to register Nevada voters during the 2008 presidential campaign.

Amy Busefink, 28, of Seminole, Fla., pleaded the equivalent of a no-contest in state court to two misdemeanor counts of conspiracy to commit the crime of compensation for registration of voters. Her Alford plea acknowledged the state had evidence for a conviction at trial.

The plea agreement could get Busefink a year of probation, a $1,000 fine and 100 hours of community service.

"That's what Alford pleas are for, to get some finality," said her lawyer, Kevin Stolworthy. "She has never been in trouble before. She would like to have some finality and be done with it."

Injustice. She should serve real jail time”

Sure is funny how the Nevada Attorney General- a conplete Democrat suck up to Reid & NObama rook this long to get this case prosecuted.

Sheould have happened by the summer of 2009.

Sure funny how it gets done 7 days after this election......

Does community service include community organizing? She’s a pro and should fit right in.

The plea agreement could get Busefink a year of probation, a $1,000 fine and 100 hours of community service.

She'll probably do her community service registering voters.

This deal would be laughable if the subject weren’t so serious.
