The attorney general of Nevada, Catherine Cortez Masto, isn’t buying into radical advocacy group ACORN’s efforts to convince America it doesn’t exist.
The Democratic elected office holder is moving ahead at full speed with a criminal prosecution of ACORN even though the cash-strapped leftist group dissolved its national structure and has reportedly gone from 250 to just four employees.
The charges relate to ACORN’s preferred criminal activity: voter registration fraud.
Nevada alleges ACORN illegally subjected its employees to voter registration quotas and gave out bonuses for extra registrations. Such conduct is unlawful in Nevada because policy makers there believe offering incentives to voter registration canvassers provides incentives for them to present fraudulent registrations.
The fear appears to be well-founded, especially in the case of ACORN. Both ACORN and voter registration/voter mobilization subsidiary Project Vote, which used to count President Obama among its employees, routinely place “Mickey Mouse,” celebrities, out-of-state residents, and dead people, on the voter rolls every election cycle. Some ACORN critics say the group does this in order to steal elections; others say the group simply wants to cause chaos at the polls.
But even legal death won’t get ACORN off the hook for election-related fraud.
