PITTSBURGH (AP) - A Pennsylvania detective is trying to figure
out how an apparent prankster was able to fill out a 2008 voter registration
card signed "Barack H. Obama."
By the time Butler County elections
officials processed the card, it went into the state's computerized database
with the last name "Obana" - that is, with an 'n' in place of the
'm.' But a detective tells The Associated Press that whoever did it was clearly
trying to register using President Barack Obama's name.
The card was discovered last week
when a jury commissioner in the county north of Pittsburgh
was compiling a role of potential jurors which, in Pennsylvania, can be drawn from voter
registration lists.
Detective Scott Roskovski says
nobody voted using the bogus voter registration card, though filling it out
falsely could be a felony.
