A former Las Vegas ACORN executive has cut a deal with prosecutors, agreeing to testify against two other defendants in a voter fraud case. Christopher Edwards, who was the local field director for Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now, pleaded guilty to two counts of conspiracy to compensate for the registration of voters.

In exchange for his cooperation, Edwards had 13 felony counts dismissed. He could get one year in jail when he is sentenced November 17th. Prosecutors say Edwards' plea deal strengthens their felony case against ACORN and its former regional voter registration director, Amy Busefink.

The organization is accused of paying bonuses to canvassers based on how many voters they signed up, which led to thousands of fraudulent voter registrations.
