While this is happening in Las Vegas, it has national implications over this sham of an orgainization….
The attorney general’s office turned up the heat Monday on a national organization at the heart of a voter registration fraud investigation.
Christopher Edwards, 33, the former Las Vegas field director for the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN, pleaded guilty to two gross misdemeanor counts of conspiracy to commit the crime of compensation for registration of voters.
As part of a plea agreement, Edwards will testify against the other two defendants in the case — ACORN and its former regional director, Amy Busefink.
The anti-poverty organization has local chapters in 100 cities across the country and national offices in New Orleans, New York and Washington.
State investigators consider Edwards the mastermind of an illegal incentive program at the local ACORN office that, with the approval of Busefink and national ACORN officials, encouraged the collection of fraudulent voter registration forms during the 2008 campaign season.
