Nevada AG Charges ACORN and Two Senior Staffers for Paying for Fake Voter Registrations

Or, rather, paying a bonus for registrations, some of which turned out to be fraudulent.

Hope and change? Doubtful. ACORN staffers are constantly being arrested, and yet the organized crime family goes on.

Does Scott "Tsk, tsk" Levensen weigh in? Oh, you betcha!

This recent attack by the Nevada Secretary of State and Attorney General is the latest in an ongoing assault designed to blame the victim and prioritize media grandstanding above the pursuit of justice.

From the time ACORN first suspected that some of its employees had tried to defraud ACORN by turning in bogus forms, ACORN repeatedly called its suspicions to the attention of election officials and requested that they investigate immediately.

Our policy all along has been to pay workers at an hourly rate and to not pay employees based on any bonus or incentive program. When it was discovered that an employee was offering bonuses linked to superior performance, that employee was ordered to stop immediately.

It is unfortunate that the Secretary of State can’t distinguish the victim from the villain.

As Otter said, what a shame, that a few bad apples should spoil a good time for everyone...
