A supervisor for the now defunct political advocacy group the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN, has entered into a plea bargain with prosecutors in a case alleging that canvassers were illegally paid to register Nevada voters during the 2008 presidential campaign.
Amy Busefink, 28, pleaded no-contest in a Nevada court to two misdemeanor counts of conspiracy to commit the crime of compensation for registration of voters. Her nolo contendere plea acknowledged the state had sufficient evidence for a conviction if the case went to trial.
Busefink is expected to get a slap on the wrist, according to critics of ACORN, with only one year of probation, a $1,000 fine and 100 hours of community service probable.
Last month, House Republican Whip Roy Blunt of Missouri applauded reports that the Federal Bureau of Investigation had opened a criminal investigation into whether the left-wing advocacy group ACORN has violated federal election law by fostering and promoting a national program of voter registration fraud.

ACORN Ping.
Wow! I can hardly wait to read all about this story in the New York Times and Newsweak, and hear the stories on the network newscasts!
What about Community Organizers International (COI)? That's what these ACORN Gangsters are calling themselves now!
“.....and 100 hours of community service probable.”
As opposed to being strung up for election fraud, “community service” is LIB-speech for registering new voters for 2012.
I would really not cry at all if someone started knee-capping these people. They are not getting the sentences they deserve.
This should be more than a mere misdemenor charge with not much more than a wag of the judge’s finger. She and her kind could very well have stolen the election and brought this usurper to destroy our country. Any election fraud should be awarded with several years of prison time.
Why this kind of sentence? I thought this was a felony?
"According to critics of Acorn"? What qualifications do Acorn critics have to predict sentences?
Sorry, I wouldn’t call getting paid to register voters “election fraud”.
Anyone care to guess where her 100 hours of community service will be served?
I’ll take “Registering low income voters” for $400, Alex!
Look over here, don’t look at the new black panthers case.
Another slap on the wrist for a scumbag that had no reservations about stealing votes from eligible voters. It sounds more like treason to me.—but then again she is, no doubt, being “prosecuted” by obama supporters just for show.
FReep mail me if you want on/off the list.
