MILWAUKEE COUNTY
Ex-worker pleads guilty to voter fraud

A former employee of the Association of Community Organization for Reform Now, or ACORN, pleaded guilty Friday to voter fraud in connection with the 2008 presidential election. Kevin Clancy, 27, of Milwaukee, admitted submitting multiple voter registration applications for some people and scheming with other ACORN workers to sign people up several times in an effort to meet the organization's voter registration quotas.

Clancy entered his plea to a charge of falsely procuring voter registration.

He faces up to 3 1/3 years in prison at his sentencing Nov. 18. Clancy and fellow ACORN staffer Maria Miles, 37, of Racine, were charged in March. She pleaded guilty in August to a similar charge and is scheduled to be sentenced Dec. 6.
