State attorney general files charges against ACORN, 2 employees

LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL

The state attorney general's office has filed a felony complaint against the activist group ACORN and two of its employees. The criminal complaint lists 26 counts of compensation for registration of voters and another 13 counts of principal to the crime of registration of voters.

The complaint names the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now and associates Christopher Howell Edwards and Amy Adele Busefink.

In October, state authorities raided the organization, which was registering low-income people to vote, alleging that its canvassers falsified forms with bogus names, fake addresses or famous personalities.

They seized voter registration forms and computer databases to determine how many fake forms were submitted and identify employees who were responsible.

They also sought information regarding current and past employees and managers.

ACORN is a nonpartisan organization, but it was affiliated with a political action committee that endorsed then-candidate Barack Obama in the presidential election.
