And ACORN should be put out of business. NOW. Can't say that enough.... Blaming the fraud on individual ACORN agents doesn't address the partisan climate that's pervasive in ACORN. I'll bet that they'd be in court right now if Obama wasn't attached to it.....

No one should be going door to door registering voters. Let's go back to the system that worked that kept the system honest. Obama and ACORN have changed that honorable system-------shame on Obama and ACORN.

totally agree with you. Voter Registration Problems in New York? By Nicholas Confessore Friday is the deadline for New Yorkers to register to vote in this year’s presidential election. Around the state, municipal boards of elections are processing a surge of new voter applications, an indication of the high level of interest in this year’s contest between John McCain, the Republican candidate, and Barack Obama, the Democratic candidate. But with that surge of new applications comes backlogs, delays — and complaints from some of our readers that election officials are saying their forms may not be processed in time for them to vote next month. ================ October 9, 2008 1:41 pm Link I registered to vote online through “Rock the Vote” and they had me send my registration to Albany instead of the headquarters in NYC. So I had to re-register at a table in the 42nd St Subway. This irks me that my stuff was sent to the wrong location through a popular site for younger voters such as “Rock the Vote”. How many of these were sent to the wrong place? How many young adults will not be able to vote? — Ryan October 9, 2008 1:58 pm Too late-too late. The mailman just picked my absentee ballot up at the corner mailbox. Surprise-surprise. I’m still a good Democrat as it was a write in vote for Hillary Clinton! — Perley J. Thibodeau Link Perley, you’re such a joke. This is a serious problem but not too concerning in New York. I’m more worried about Ohio, Virginia, Colorado and Florida. — TH . October 9, 2008 2:33 pm Link Brooklyn DMV processed my registration, but incorrectly noted my party so I was turned away at the primaries (which stings, as that matters more in NY than the main election). Here’s hoping I’ll be accepted in November . . . — Diana

Nor can we afford breach of federal election law - like illegal efforts to prevent people from voting: nytimes.com "...Tens of thousands of eligible voters in at least six swing states have been removed from the rolls or have been blocked from registering in ways that appear to violate federal law, according to a review of state records and Social Security data by The New York Times. The actions do not seem to be coordinated by one party or the other, nor do they appear to be the result of election officials intentionally breaking rules, but are apparently the result of mistakes in the handling of the registrations and voter files as the states tried to comply with a 2002 federal law, intended to overhaul the way elections are run. Still, because Democrats have been more aggressive (organised/successful) at registering new voters this year, according to state election officials, any heightened screening of new applications may affect their party’s supporters disproportionately... ...The six swing states seem to be in violation of federal law in two ways. Michigan and Colorado are removing voters from the rolls within 90 days of a federal election, which is not allowed except when voters die, notify the authorities that they have moved out of state, or have been declared unfit to vote. Indiana, Nevada, North Carolina and Ohio seem to be improperly using Social Security data to verify registration applications for new voters. In addition to the six swing states, three more states appear to be violating federal law. Alabama and Georgia seem to be improperly using Social Security information to screen registration applications from new voters. And Louisiana appears to have removed thousands of voters after the federal deadline for taking such action..."
