10/4/12, "Nevada high court upholds ACORN convictions," AP via Las Vegas Sun
"The Nevada Supreme Court has upheld felony convictions stemming from the group ACORN's voter registration practices.
A
high court decision out Thursday says it's OK for Nevada to bar
payments based on how many people someone registers or how many people
of a particular party one registers.
The ruling stems from a 2008
case in which the community group ACORN hired people to register voters
in Las Vegas. A Secretary of State investigation found a program called
"blackjack" in which the group offered a $5 bonus if a canvasser
registered 21 or more voters.
ACORN supervisor Amy Busefink
pleaded an equivalent of no contest to two counts of conspiracy and was
ordered to informal probation and community service.
She appealed, but the Nevada Supreme Court says state law is constitutional." via Free Republic
