The defunct political advocacy group ACORN has pleaded guilty to one count of an election law violation in Las Vegas, Nevada.
ACORN attorney Lisa Rasmussen told Fox News that a plea agreement was worked out with the state attorney general. The violation was for unlawfully providing compensation for registering voters based on the total number of people registered. Sentencing for the organization is set for Aug. 10, and the potential fine is a maximum of $5,000.
ACORN itself was named as a criminal defendant in the case for allegedly running an illegal voter registration scheme called "21," or "Blackjack," which paid ACORN workersarned bonuses based on the number of voters they registered in Nevada during the 2008 election.

That doesn't even reach the "chump change" category. What Nevada needs is a "do over" so THE PEOPLE OF NEVADA can finally unload Stinky Reid without the union mafia saving his ass all the time.

I’m completely serious when I say that Vote Fraud should be a Capital offense carrying an automatic death sentence.

Notice how the racist federal justice department didn’t pursue this case.
If the perps were white and conservative, Eric Holder would have made it his priority.

10 years mandatory and a 500K fine!Here's the problem. The charge is against ACORN. ACORN can pay a fine, but you can't put 'ACORN' in jail.
