“Higher Up the Food Chain”: ACORN Regional Director Facing 13 Felonies in Nevada for Voter Registration Scheme (video)
Posted By Vicki McClure Davidson on October 5, 2009
The uncovering of ACORN corruption hasn’t let up… we’re just now kicking into the second act…
In Nevada, not just the ACORN canvassers are being pursued for criminal activity in voter registration fraud. Reportedly, people still in prison were approached and hired by ACORN in Nevada, people who had been convicted of identity theft. State officials have identified that the corruption in the organization goes much “higher up the food chain” than with a few “bad apples” at the entry level ranks. ACORN’s regional director is facing 13 felony counts.
Additionally, according to Nevada Secretary of State Ross Miller, something on the order of 47% of the voter registrations turned in by ACORN in the state of Nevada were faked.
From Jim Hoft, Big Government: ACORN Hired People ‘Still in Prison’ Convicted of Identity Theft:
Nevada Secretary of State Ross Miller, a Democrat, told Eric Shawn on FOX News that ACORN was hiring convicts still in prison – CONVICTED OF IDENTITY THEFT- for canvassing voters.
Ross said that by executing a search warrant at ACORN headquarters in Nevada the authorities were able to substantiate charges and have a very solid case against ACORN. They believe they can prove that it’s not just a few bad apples, it went much higher up in the organization. Ross believes that ACORN and the regional director should be held accountable for the criminal activity that took place in the state.

This is not the first time we’ve seen convicts used for canvassing. In 2004 another federally funded far left organization America Coming Together was fined $775,000 in civil penalties after the election. ACT hired dozens of felons some convicted of sex offenses, assault and burglary – to conduct door-to-door voter registration drives in Missouri and other swing states. Seven of the ACT employees lived at Missouri halfway houses and at least four were later returned to prison.
