Fictitious Donors Found in Obama Finance Records
New York Times ^ | October 10, 2008 | Michael Luo and Griff Palmer

Last December, someone using the name “Test Person,” from “Some Place, UT,” made a series of contributions, the largest being $764, to Senator Barack Obama’s presidential campaign totaling $2,410.07.

Someone identifying himself as “Jockim Alberton,” from 1581 Leroy Avenue in Wilmington, Del., began giving to Mr. Obama last November, contributing $10 and $25 at a time for a total of $445 through the end of February.

The only problem? There is no Leroy Avenue in Wilmington. And Jockim Alberton, who listed his employer and occupation as “Fdsa Fdsa,” does not show up in a search of public records.

I suspect this was buried on the last page of the paper.

between this Acorn, Farrakan, Odinga, etc., they need to start throwing out new information every third day. Ayers is a good start, but not enough to bring this clown down.

People obsessed, dishonest and filled with hate as today’s Democrats, won’t hesitate to corrupt the financing and registration of elections.

The ends justify the means in their sick minds.

Chinese contributions again? Another reason to not trust a Democrat.

Fraud just follows Nobama and Nobama follows fraud. I guess if he is the anti-Christ, he is destined to be elected, right? I am living a nightmare.

The New York Times is actually reporting this ?

Sounds to me like they're intentionally reporting on the smaller of the cases. The idea is to deflect criticism by implying that there may some very small, isolated cases.

The NYT knows the word is getting out, so they can help by giving the impression that the amounts are so small they don't matter. "The Republicans are making a big deal over very minor mistakes" is the message I seem to get from this article.

But even a contributor who used the name “Jgtj Jfggjjfgj,” and listed an address of “thjtrj” in “gjtjtjtjtjtjr, AP,” was able to contribute $370 in a series of $10 donations in August.

A pair of donors named “Derty West” and “Derty Poiiuy,” who listed “rewq, ME” as their addresses and “Qwertyyy” or “Qwerttyyu” as either their employer or occupation, contributed a combined $1,110 in July.

the losers are doing damage control for their evil master Obozo, just trying to minimize the dollar amounts....you will not see any mention of the 3 million that has come up from other reports.

About time they reported on this.

Now...I find it VERY INTERESTING that the writers choose to use the word gibberish in their article because that is the word I chose to use back in early August for these kinds of donations. Coincidence?

From the article:

An analysis of campaign finance records by The New York Times this week found nearly 3,000 donations to Mr. Obama, the Democratic nominee, from more than a dozen people with apparently fictitious donor information. The contributions represent a tiny fraction of the record $450 million Mr. Obama has raised. But the questionable donations — some donors were listed simply with gibberish for their names — raise concerns about whether the Obama campaign is adequately vetting its unprecedented flood of donors.

And then there is Obama's Gibberish Donors ....

I found this last week and posted it on google docs. It's in the article: But even a contributor who used the name “Jgtj Jfggjjfgj,” and listed an address of “thjtrj” in “gjtjtjtjtjtjr, AP,” was able to contribute $370 in a series of $10 donations in August.

Someone named “jkbkj” made a contribution. Are these Obamaites so cocky that they figure that the can just run their fingers across a keyboard when they make a contribution?
