New ACORN effort is mobilizing voters, run by woman indicted for violating election laws

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

Matthew Vadum over at Human Events reports ACORN is alive and well, though operating under a different name:

Disturbingly, Project Vote, ACORN’s scandal-plagued voter registration and mobilization division, remains open for business. Project Vote has been part of the ACORN family since at least 1992 when Barack Obama ran a successful voter drive in Illinois.

Although legally separate entities, in practice the two are the same, as the congressional testimony of former ACORN/Project Vote employee Anita MonCrief can attest. They share office space, employees, and budgets. Project Vote continues to operate out of ACORN’s Washington, D.C., headquarters.

Even worse, its voter drive is being run by Amy Busefink, an ACORN employee under indictment in Nevada for violating election laws. It might be understandable for an employer not to fire an employee until she is actually convicted of a crime, but this is ridiculous. Busefink should not be running a voter drive.

Busefink and another ACORN employee, Christopher Edwards, were charged with by the state of Nevada with “26 felony counts of voter fraud and 13 of providing unlawful extra compensation to those registering voters.” Edwards pleaded guilty and the trial of Busefink and ACORN is set to begin November 26.

There are two things that are certain about conservatives. First, they love to masturbate to Ronald Reagan and second, they love to feign outrage about ACORN. Bill, do you even know what Busefink is accused of?

Bill, I asked if you knew what they were accused of, not how many charges. Busefink authorized a bonus of $5 per day for the people canvasing neighborhoods if they met their quota of people registered to vote. Yeah, really heinous stuff......

Felonies?

[The_Dude 1,142]

Felonies?

Still evading the question huh...... That does seem to be fairly typical of conservatives. You ask them what ACORN did and of course they don't know, but they do know that it's bad.

The state’s charges list 26 felony counts of voter fraud and 13 of providing unlawful extra compensation to those registering voters, a practice forbidden under Nevada law because it incentivizes fraud. Canvassers were allegedly paid between $8 and $9 an hour and based on a quota of 20 voters per shift.

Yes, and the charges stem from her offering a $5 per day bonus if they signed up more than 21 voters. Sorry, when did registering people to vote become voter fraud? It's not a crime simply because they are registering and encouraging people who normally don't vote republican to do go vote...

Right Wingers hate to have all legal Americans to vote because if voter registration and voting were easy and accessible to everyone, the Left leaning politicians would dominate. So they'll hire private firms, paying them millions of dollars to purge voters from the voter rolls. They've been doing this for a long time and will not stop with their scare tactics because doing so would mean certain defeat of their Right Wing, Laisezz-faire agenda.

Your opinions of "right wingers" is comic book like. Thanks man, I get a lol every time you type something.

Me too, every time you try to portray Libertarians as sane, or sober.

Really? When have I ever said a word about Libertarians? You must have me confused with someone else.

Yes, more relativism from the left. The Kapitalist Pigs are so strong and evil that the hippies must lie, cheat, and steal to win. Victory at any cost, when you know it all!

So that accounts for the 13 counts of unlawful extra compensation, what was the basis of the 26 Felony counts of Voter Fraud?
