In just over six weeks, voters will be heading to the polls. Now though, the El Paso County Clerk and Recorder Bob Balink said he’s making sure voters are who they said they were when they registered.
The election office launched an investigation Monday, cracking down on voter registration fraud.
Fake names, fake driver's license numbers and fake addresses are apparently on at least one dozen voter registration forms. El Paso County Clerk and Recorder Bob Balink is trying to get to the bottom of it. "If you let one person who’s not eligible to vote, vote, then they just canceled your vote," said Balink.
“For years, in every presidential election, it’s the same old thing. Radical liberal groups have voter registration drives and in some instances, there is fraud and we prosecute them," said Balink.
Balink said if you want to register to vote, come to his office directly.
He said he encourages anyone who has doubts about his/her voter registration status, he/she should contact his office at575-VOTE.

And O bama wins,with the help of ACORN,LA RASA,and every dead U.S. citizen,plus every illegal alien they can find!
It is wrong to allow any registration to be done by "party"-paid" individuals or to allow any special voting priviledges to any group of citizens. ID and registered residence are a minimum to protect citizens, our local gov. and our future. Anything else is just party led rigging - which we will see a lot of I believe this year. Sorry, but I take voting seriously and follow campaigns - checking facts etc. Is my vote to be annulled because someone is "signed up & bussed in" to feed the ballot boxes for favors, not thought-through responsible citizen behavior? Is that what these ACORN people call a "right"? Is that what our founders meant for this nation?
Obama's ACORN . . . .
