HARTFORD, Conn. - The State Elections Enforcement Commission is looking into a complaint alleging that a community advocacy group submitted fraudulent voter registration cards in Bridgeport.

Joseph Borges, Bridgeport's Republican registrar of voters, filed the complaint. He said he has found problems with numerous voter registration cards submitted by the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN, which works to register low-income people.

In one instance, he says a card was filled out for a 7-year-old girl, whose age was listed as 27 on the card.

ACORN filed more than 8,000 cards in Bridgeport. The complaint involves 10, but Borges said there were problems with many others.

The group, which said it has registered some 1.3 million voters nationwide this year, is facing similar allegations in several other states including Nevada, Wisconsin, North Carolina, New Mexico, Michigan, Ohio and Missouri.

In Indiana, we do have to show ID to vote. The Dem’s pitched a hissy, but I don’t mind at all.

ACORN? Never heard of em. ;~)

The "CO" in "ACORN" stands for "Community Organization".

You know, like the "community organizer" running for President.

Funny I don't hear a single Republican or news outlet pointing that out.

This is laughable.

In CT all you need to register to vote is a driver's license numer OR the last four digits of you Social Security number.

For a pistol permit you needd:

A Connecticut Drivers License or State ID card and expired pistol permit.

AND Proof of citizenship or legal residency MUST be provided for new and renewals. Acceptable proof includes one the following:

• Birth Certificate, U.S. Passport or Voter’s Registration Card

• Naturalized Citizens require Naturalization Certificate or U.S. Passport.

• Legal Resident Aliens require Permanent Resident ID issued by I.C.E. and a 90-day proof of residency.

Some Rights are RIGHTS and some are rights in CT.

An Executive Order should be place by President Bush NOW, to be effective IMMEDIATLY. No voting without proper identification. Immediate prosecution of those that accept a ballot without proper ID.
