HARTFORD -- The State Elections Enforcement Commission has opened an investigation into allegations that a community activist organization submitted at least 10 false voter-registration cards in Bridgeport.

One of the phony registrations was for a 7-year-old girl in the Marina Village housing complex, whose age was listed as 27 on the voter card.

Another registration came from a man who later said he couldn't have completed the voter card purported to be his because he was in jail on the date of the document.

Joseph J. Borges, the city's Republican registrar of voters, filed the complaint with state officials after months of local complaints on the tactics that ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, was regularly filing applications that were ruled ineligible.
...
The charges date back to the summer, when the Connecticut Post reported that ACORN applications were flooding the registrar's office and resulting in excessive extra hours of research to check their authenticity.

"We have many more complaints," Borges said Tuesday, adding that the 10 are just highlights. He said he went to Marina Village personally and interviewed the 7-year-old.
"I talked with the guardian and said I was just trying to verify the name and the girl came down the stairs," Borges said, adding that the Social Security number was different and the youth was definitely not 27, as indicated on the voter card.

ACORN filed more than 8,000 voter cards in the city during its registration drive, but Borges said the piles of cards are riddled with duplicates and false information that was found by him and his staff.

Borges submitted evidence including the registration of a Stratford woman who said she was "pressured" into completing a card with a Bridgeport address. Another registration contained two voters registration forms with different signatures for the same person. "We have three boxes of returned letters, with no such address, no such name," Borges said. "It's crazy."

On his complaint, Borges said the flood of ACORN-generated voter cards "has put a strain on my office and jeopardizes our ability to enter legitimate registration cards."

In response, a Bridgeport leader of ACORN on Tuesday night called the charges "part of a concerted and coordinated campaign by conservatives and the GOP to attack and discredit ACORN...It is shameful that partisan, right-wing operatives -- who are clearly afraid of our ability to bring low-income people to the polls on election day -- are more interested in slinging trumped-up allegations at ACORN than in working with us in our campaigns to stop foreclosures and predatory lending, win paid sick days, raise the minimum wage, and make sure that low-income, working families have a seat at the table in our democracy," she said.

MEANWHILE...

As for other states, read how the entire starting lineup of the Dallas Cowboys NFL football team registered to vote in Nevada, including Tony Romo, their quarterback.

Even Hillary Clinton filed complaints to the FBI about ACORN's fraudulent voter efforts on Obama's behalf. (read down to "Comment by BARB | 2008-07-12")

In New Mexico, ACORN appears to be using Cuban nationals to withhold certain registrations till a deadline passed. Watch the local news story on it:

I wouldn't be surprised if those unsubmitted cards are from voters who registered Republican.

ACORN voter fraud in Connecticut, Nevada, Missouri, Wisconsin, Ohio, Iowa, Indiana, North Carolina, New Mexico, Michigan, Texas.

WHAT DOES OBAMA REALLY HAVE TO DO WITH "ACORN"?

Obama's ties to ACORN have been documented in the LA Times, Obama's own website, and elsewhere, despite the fact that some of the original sites have been "scrubbed clean" of any mentions linking his involvement. There are details and links here and here.

"Barack Obama helped run an ACORN unit, represented them as an attorney, and is now a client of ACORN."

How is he a client of ACORN? I'd bet most Democrat voters didn't know that. And I'll bet they really don't care, especially since, just today, "The Obama campaign reacted this afternoon, saying, it is 'committed to protecting the integrity of the voting process and said it has not worked with ACORN during the general election.'"

Of course, they said that, and of course, you believe them.

Contrary to that Obama campaign statement, Obama paid ACORN $800,000 to drum up new voters for him as he has been running for President, "payments his campaign failed to accurately report," according to Investor's Business Daily.

Whether it happened during the general election campaign or the primary campaign, Democrat voters would R O A S T a Republican alive if s/he were caught redhanded like that.

Go read the legal case (with Obama's name on it) defending ACORN and the law that allowed this voter fraud to happen in the past 13 years....
