A lot of the attention ACORN has received lately has to do with the James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles "pimp and prostitute" exposés.
Let's not forget ACORN and voter fraud.
From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:
A Milwaukee woman was sentenced to three years probation Monday for trying to register some people more than once as part of an ACORN voter registration drive last year.
Latoya Lewis, 19, pleaded guilty to election fraud prior to her sentencing by Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Richard Sankovitz. He stayed a one-year sentence at the House of Correction in favor of the three-year probation term. As conditions of probation, Lewis must serve 30 days at the House, with work release privileges, and not work in any voter registration drives.
A complaint in March charged that Lewis submitted at least two of eight voter registration cards filled out for the same man, who told police he didn't register to vote through Lewis. The complaint says Lewis told police that she was trying to meet her quota as a paid voter registrar for the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN.
Lewis was the fourth former Milwaukee registrar to face charges stemming from the 2008 election and the only one employed by ACORN. Of three others employed by the Community Voters Project, two pleaded guilty and one remains at large.
The two politically liberal groups say they caught much of the fraud and turned in the suspects, who represent a small percentage of paid registrars. Milwaukee County prosecutors have said they found no evidence of an organized vote fraud conspiracy.
Yes, it was a lone rogue voter registration worker. No real problem here. Why is that always tacked on to stories about vote fraud in Milwaukee County?
I wonder how Milwaukee County prosecutors define "organized vote fraud conspiracy."
Organized or disorganized, vote fraud is a serious offense that's not taken seriously.

Ms. Lewis is black and because of her race, I'm sure she was given special consideration. To do otherwise would have been RACIST (if you follow the liberal mindset).
Though joking aside, she was a pawn of others in a much larger organized crime scheme and ACORN executives are the real problem. The prosecution may not have been able to prove the nexus beyond a reasonable doubt to a moral certainty to 12 people who were not able to get out of jury duty - however we all know it's there.
P. S. - I wonder if Latoya Lewis will be getting a job with the ACORN clone organization CAHO now?
The fact is Wisconsin refuses to safeguard the integrity of its elections.
It's a haven for fraud.
