Muslim group attempts late Florida vote dump
Pushy activist brings box of 550 applications after close of county registration deadline

A pushy Muslim activist demanded a county elections office worker accept a box of 550 applications to vote after the close of business on the last day to register in Palm Beach County, Florida.
According to a report in the Palm Beach Post, Theresa LePore attempted to close the office at 5 p.m. last Monday when a young man showed up 15 minutes after the deadline, insisting she accept a box of 550 applications on behalf of a group of Muslims determined to oust President Bush.
LePore said the applications were attached to slips of paper identifying them as having been collected by Voting Is Power, which goes by the acronym VIP and is an offshoot of the Washington-based Muslim American Society.
LePore had locked the door when the unidentified man showed up. She said she told him her office was closed, but that he could mail the forms as long as they were postmarked by midnight that night.
"He started hollering about disenfranchising people," said LePore, who took the box after he thrust it at her.
She examined some of the applications and noticed that some were incomplete and others dated in July. LePore told the man he should have turned them in on time so the potential voters could have cast ballots in the Aug. 31 primary or corrected missing information.
"Then he started saying, 'You're all alike,' or something to that effect, and 'It's better in New York,'" she said. "And I said, 'Why don't you go back to New York?' "
LePore, who said she also let a few individuals turn in single registration forms until 6 p.m., was surprised to learn that VIP's parent group is the Muslim American Society Freedom Foundation, an organization that has a federal 501(c)3 designation for religious non-profits. The group claims it is non-partisan, but its political action committee has formally endorsed John Kerry for president.
Florida is one of five battleground states Muslims have targeted for get-out-the-vote efforts, foundation Executive Director Mahdi Bray said Thursday. VIP recruiters in Florida registered about 7,000 new Muslim voters he hopes will go to the polls on Election Day and vote for Kerry, he said.
"This administration's policy of preemptive war has destabilized the region," Bray said Thursday. "Many of us who know the region know that this can of worms this administration has opened, this mistaken policy, will haunt the Muslim world for years to come."
"Then he started saying, 'You're all alike,' or something to that effect, and 'It's better in New York,'" she said. "And I said, 'Why don't you go back to New York?' "
*** Has something to do with two of the most despicable senators in the US? Maybe?
He started hollerin', the lady shoulda called the police and had him arrested. Case closed.

I'm certain the FBI has an open file on this windbag.
I hope! I heard radio spots,etc. about the deadline for registering to vote. Procrastination is not good.
How about every special interest group wanting to do a vote dump if the islamic group gets their way? Part of the right to vote is the inherent responsibility to complete tasks like registering to vote, being informed,etc. No one is disenfranchised by anyone but themselves if they submit their vote late, go to jail, leave the state without a absentee ballot,etc.

'It's better in New York,'"
A talking point, a legal point, and a social point.
Point by point this cult fanatic is surviving on the legal fringes of society. If the feds ever get the cajonnes to review a few 501's, or some backdated voter registrations, add in a good measure of "who's giving advice", then more than a few jail cells will require taxpayer supplied prayer mats for the new arrivals.
I'm all for 'em moving on 'em then. The behavior described here sounds like enough reason for a little arrest on this guy to me.
I think it's the good ol' IRS, believe it or not.
Us lazy bastards are being disenfranchised! I am gonna vote in January. Or maybe sometime in March. It don't matter because they HAVE to count my vote.
Don't they? Huh?
The rights of the many are being subverted for the rights of the few so often these days that it is becoming difficult to tell when humor is being injected.
Deadlines have been publicly broadcast in every city, county and state since June of this year.
Why in the hell is there even any news stories about this so called disenfranchisement?
Ignore the morons and they will just go away.
Wait a minute...did she accept them or not? If she did, why have the rules been broken ?
501(c)(3) is a status governed by the IRS. Their web site is www.irs.gov.
Uhhh...sorry Ahmed...in the United States of America...we register AMERICAN voters. Please be so kind as to do things according to the law.

I think you're probably right but it would be nice if someone knew specifically which office...perhaps we have a tax lawyer in this forum who could provide specifics...
