New doubts on voter registrations

Oct 28 - Questions are being raised by city and state election officials across the country about the validity of tens of thousands of voter registration forms.The community organizing group Acorn announced at the beginning of October that it had registered 1.3 million new voters nationwide. But about 400,000 forms were rejected by election officials -- because of incomplete forms, duplicate registrations and outright fraud. Jon Decker reports.

This is called DISINFORMATION. The problem isn't fraud by individual voters or organizations like ACORN, but by election officials who want to purge valid voter registrations for political purposes.

ACORN is only one of around 25 companies hired by the major parties to get voters signed up.

Well, if he does win there is still going to be a big scandal and a lot of people crying unfair because of Obama's alleged ties with Acorn. This is the type of thing that opposition parties (any party) dream of and will use to try to railroad a presidency. On the other hand it is something you would want to think about beforehand if you were going to run for president impropriety or not.

Note: I neither support or not support MCcain or Obama in any way or fashion.

Lets just hope Obama wins by 400,001 or more so we don't have to worry about this.

This bothers me. I don't know what ACORN is, really don't care.

What I DO know is that I moved a few blocks after I registered. When I voted, I had to have my address changed in the computer by the poll worker. He seemed to be learning the software as he went, but whatever. I told them "I just don't want to be a hanging chad." They thought that was a funny comment, and I always appreciate the compliment when someone likes my dry humor.

But I still want my vote to be counted.
