HARRISBURG -- The Rendell administration is scurrying to fix a glitch in an online voter registration form, a flaw that could permit the unauthorized disclosure of some people's driver's license numbers and the last four digits of their Social Security numbers.

Because of the problem, which could lead to identity theft, one of two Department of State voter registration Web sites had to be shut down Tuesday night and will remain down until officials figure out what went wrong.

Mrs. Amoros said thousands of people have been signing up to vote in recent weeks -- either first-time voters or those who want to switch their registration to Democrat so they can take part in the April 22 political showdown between presidential candidates Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama.
