ACORN, 2008
- Main article: ACORN
Former ACORN field director Christopher Edwards testified in a trial in September 2009 that during the summer of 2008, he paid voter registration workers a $5 bonus if they turned in 21 or more voter registration cards in a day. Such bonuses are illegal under Nevada law, according to state prosecutors. A Nevada judge is considering whether Amy Busefink, who supervised Edwards in 2008, should stand trial on 13 felony charges of compensation for registration of voters. When Edwards testified, he told Justice of the Peace William D. Jansen that "No one in ACORN knew this was illegal."[1]
