O'jahnae Smith is ready and registered to vote this November. There's only one problem: She's 7 years old. The Connecticut girl is 11 years too young - and nobody in her family knows how she ended up on a voter registration form submitted by ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now. "She's registered to vote?" said a surprised Jerome Smith, O'jahnae's teenage brother. "She's too young to vote." But that didn't stop someone from forging the child's signature on a voter registration card and giving her a fake birth date that upped her age to 27. The family told The Post a drug-addicted relative may have given the bogus card to ACORN. Voter registration fraud complaints like these continue to mount for the group, already under scrutiny in 11 states where hundreds, if not thousands, of new registrations are being questioned. ACORN volunteers have been found to register dead people and even put members of the Dallas Cowboys on Nevada lists. The community organizing group has a long history of flooding low- and middle-income neighborhoods in election years with temporary workers instructed to register 20 to 25 voters per day - or risk getting fired. Most states prohibit paying per signature, but ACORN workers earning $8 to $9 an hour still have to hit their quotas. And many need the money - including some ex-cons in work-release programs. ACORN's controversial tactics have fueled John McCain's criticism of Barack Obama, whose campaign paid an ACORN spinoff - Community Services Inc. - about $800,000 to knock on doors and urge people to vote for Obama in four key primary states: Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Texas. In his pre-politics days, Obama ran the Illinois chapter of Project Vote in 1992, before it hooked up with ACORN. McCain campaign manager Rick Davis on Friday called for a freeze on taxpayer dollars to ACORN until recent allegations have been investigated. Meanwhile, state authorities in New Mexico, Indiana, Missouri, Connecticut, Ohio, Florida, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Nevada have launched probes of bogus voter registration forms filed by ACORN. Roberta Casteel, a nurse, is one of several dozen Nevada voters caught in the web of fake ACORN registrations. Casteel, a registered voter since 1991, was shocked to receive a letter rejecting a voter application she didn't know she'd made. Authorities said they'd received two voter applications in her name: one as a Democrat and one as an independent. Both cards had her address, date of birth and Social Security number, and were submitted by ACORN workers. Neither signature matched her original one on file. A former ACORN worker in Pennsylvania has already been charged with 17 counts of identity theft and forgery. Other states are sifting through cartons of suspicious forms. The ACORN shenanigans likely won't rise to actual voting fraud, stressed election law expert Terri Enns at Ohio State University. "ACORN's problematic registrations create extra work for election boards, because they have to check them, but it's not double voting," she said.
Poster Comment: Yes! By all means work within the system to change it! Please, vote for the candidate of your choice, but never forget American elections (beginning w/JFK in my lifetime) are as crooked as that of any 3rd nation. Enjoy!

I heard that from Bronco Bomba supporters at work a week ago, fireside chats and all. We need more critical thinking and less critical theory it seems. Who's gonna do it? I get beat up too easily and I'm too clumsy to own a gun.

I think we should a have a NoneOfTheAbove vote, in which case no one wins and the last round of contestants is quickly shuttled off the stage, disqualified from participating in the next round.

It's all a big show about much of nothing. The President has no real powers other than signing bills.

History is a hard taskmaster... Our young people have been brainwashed into believing that Lincoln and Roosevelt were also our saviors. Far from it. It will not be one of my kind from the bottom that presides over the next mass slaughter, that is a given. However we will be the FIRST to be dragged off one more time. They send your family a Purple Heart and brief note extending someones sympathy. The good life goes on.
They still get to wet themselves before AIPAC and the entire world, so it's not without purpose.

Mega-churches simply beggar and boggle the imagination. Guessing that they are 'bots and ditto-heads. Not trying to be judgmental, but, my word. (And I do love the song, btw. I was raised singing it in a tiny rural church.)
They spook me too, loddie. Where can I get new Rock-em-Sock Robot set?

Were you any good??? They always asked me to refrain from singing.
I personally received no share of the bailout, BUT unlike you I understand why it was necessary. You seem to forget that it was the government UNDER CLINTON that started pushing those loan on a (largely minority)group of unqualified borrowers. Then the same government in the form of Fannie guaranteed those same loans knowing full well that they would be bundled and traded. That's how the mortgage business has always worked. Let me repeat that: That's how the mortgage business has always worked Of course our new group of happy homeowners can't make their payments and private businesses are left holding the bag because of what started under Clinton. The government caused this problem, the government had to fix it. Now, if you're one of the group that's not happy with the bailout, I suggest you ask why Frank Raines (ex-CEO of Fannie) is not in jail and is a senior adviser to the Obama campaign
It's the second mouse that gets the cheese
They always asked me to refrain from singing. I, too, was much better at mouthing the words, or humming along, than I ever was at actually singing along.
We have an excellent group of financial experts here on 4um, perhaps they would consider membership for you???

Go to a shooting range near you. You will find the best people who will be thrilled to help you learn how to use another tool. You'll not find a more friendly, helpful, and like-minded group of people anywhere. Please trust me, and take me up on this one - you'll have a blast!
Kammerschen - egghead that he is -- neglected to mention his cousin, the tenth man's accountant and genius at tax shelters.
...Both methods yielded similar results, which support the previous findings; that is, of all modern human samples, sub-Saharan Africans again exhibit the closest phenetic similarity to various African Plio-Pleistocene hominins...Earlier today, Mike said Obama needed to be like FDR as President.
