Federal prosecutors in St. Louis say eight workers for a get-out-the-vote effort in the city and the county have pleaded guilty to federal election fraud for submitting false registration cards for the 2006 election. A United States attorney, Catherine Hanaway, said that eight former temporary workers for the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now admitted submitting cards with false addresses and names and forged signatures. Acorn has said the workers most likely turned in the false applications to try to increase their wages.
