The investigation into ACORN has revealed that 59 separate convicted felons took jobs this summer registering voters.

In other words, they took jobs taking your private information.

"At least one individual was convicted of identity theft, and was serving time on an identity theft related conviction. And I believe there may be others," said Nevada Secretary of State Ross Miller.

The convict canvassers were all living at the Casa Grande Correctional Facility in Las Vegas.

It's against the law for any offender to "...acquire, review, use or have control over or access to personal information." But not only that, Secretary of State Miller says it's dangerous.

"We've got to find out whether or not people's information was compromised, and most importantly, find out how this was happening so we can rectify it in the future," Miller said.

"I was trying to help them because it was their job and they needed the signatures," said one man who registered several times through ACRON employees.

Ironically, the knock against ACRON has been that their employees weren't really collecting valid information in the first place. ACORN's canvassers have submitted scores of voter registrations for people who don't even exist, and even more duplicate registrations.

There were at least three different groups who should have been watching over these convicted felons. 

Because they live in a half-way house, the Nevada Prison System still has some responsibility for them.

The prison system contracted with a private firm to run Casa Grande's work program, a firm called Choices Group.

In turn, Choices says they warned ACORN that this group of canvassers would need constant supervision.
