Today's Daily Caller is reporting that senior ACORN executive Amy Adele Busefink will not be serving her two year jail sentence for conspiracy to committ voter fraud--the jail time has been suspended.
According to the article:
"This isn't the first time Busefink was involved in shady electoral dealings. Even while under indictment in Nevada she ran the 2010 national voter drive for Project Vote, which was President Obama's employer in 1992. Project Vote and ACORN have long been indistinguishable. Project Vote still operates out of ACORN's offices in Washington, D.C.
"Busefink also ran ACORN's fraud-ridden 2008 voter registration drive. In that drive, officials chucked an astounding 400,000 bogus registrations."
This seems like an incredibly light sentence in view of the continuing offenses, but the good news is the the trial of ACORN is proceeding.
"Edie S. Cartwright, spokeswoman for the attorney general's office, said prosecutor David Rickert is preparing for the trial of ACORN which is currently scheduled for April 25. State officials said previously that bankruptcy would not prevent them from moving forward with the case.
"Across the country state chapters of ACORN, which stands for Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, have been incorporating themselves separately in order to carry on ACORN's work. ACORN is reorganizing and will reemerge again soon under a new name, according to ACORN historian and housing activist John Atlas, who wrote "Seeds of Change," and ACORN executive Nathan Henderson-James."
Voter fraud is a serious problem and needs to have serious consequences for those who choose to engage in it.
