Former ACORN Official Agrees to Plea Deal in Nevada Voter Fraud Case
Associated Press ^ | 11-9-10

Posted on 11/09/2010 12:34:26 PM PST by Justaham

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. She will be back out on the streets doing the same thing in late 2011.

And, how is THAT "sentence" going to make her be done with it?

Seems to me, she'll just be a little more careful next time.

How about they go after actual VOTE fraud?

Compensating someone for voting (a particular way) IS vote fraud. We all know what type of voters she was soliciting; they weren’t Republican.

We could use a few whistleblowers from the current Harry Reid voter fraud on Nov 2, 2010...

I know that, I was distinguishing between voter registration fraud and actual fraudulent VOTING. The refrain from the Left is that there is no harm no foul if no one votes based on the fraudulent registrations.

AND... a promotion somewhere else in the "organization."

Time to go for the jugular in the apparent DNC "crime syndicate"!

This is a pitifully lenient sentence for attempting to destroy the very foundation upon which our democracy reside. IMHO

Repoert: "....and 100 hours of community service."

Response: Might I suggest voter registration as her "community service"

“Michael McDunnah, a spokesman for Project Vote, a Washington-based civic group, said Busefink never approved the reward program, but agreed to the Alford plea “to return as soon as possible to the important business of ensuring that every eligible American can register, vote and cast a ballot that counts.”

According to the Article she still works for Project Vote. She should be barred from doing any type of voter registration. This is just a slap on the wrist so she can continue the fraud!

Ratting on ACORN is one thing, ratting on SEIU criminals is a life ending move.

Hmm, there are thousands on trial for assorted crimes, much less grave than election fraud, who would LOVE to say this and get away with it. Eric Holder is a danger to America.

ACORN defunct? My eye.

They may have changed their name or something but they sure didn't go defunct.

Dammit, I wish the Corrupt Bass Turds at AP would do some actual investigating once in a while.

Probably back at it a few weeks ago. This offense was from 2008.

ACORN is NOT defunct!!!

They have changed to another name in many states.

They are gling into another incarnation & doing the same fraud as before.
