Fox News is reporting this morning:
A Nevada judge on Wednesday gave ACORN, the defunct grass-roots community organization, the maximum fine for its illegal voter-registration scheme in that state.
District Court Judge Donald Mosley was blunt and unsparing in his criticism of the discredited activist group. Citing the long history of voter registration fraud allegations that engulfed ACORN across the country, he slapped the group with a $5,000 fine for violating Nevada election law during the 2008 presidential election.
Mosley, reading the pre-sentence report, listed a series of voter registration fraud allegations against ACORN workers. He said that if the claims have been true, then “It is making a mockery of our election process. If I had an individual in this courtroom…who was responsible for this kind of thing, I would put that person in prison for 10 years, hard time, and not think twice about it,” he said. “To me this is reprehensible. This is the kind of thing you see in some banana republic, Uruguay or someplace, not in the United States.”
In Nevada, ACORN pleaded guilty to one felony count of unlawful compensation for registration of voters, stemming from an illegal voter registration scheme in its Las Vegas office during in the 2008 race.
Henry D'Andrea at Politicons says:
However, the fine is only $5,000. ... You can bet that ACORN will be back on the streets conducting voter registration efforts for the 2012 presidential election.
And yours truly has some questions:
(1) Why is the max. fine for voter fraud only $5,000?
(2) Why are the only news sources covering this as of this writing the Las Vegas Review-Journal and Fox News
(3) What did Obama know and when did he know it?
Oh yeah, one more: Will any of my beloved "Bush stole the 2000 election" and "Bush stole the 2004 election" friends -- and you know who you are! -- give a *&$#@?
