EXCLUSIVE: New York Violating MOVE Act
Fox News ^ | Published October 10, 2010 | By Jana Winter

Posted on 10/10/2010 12:35:28 PM PDT by Marty62

More than one week after its extended deadline, New York still hasn’t mailed out absentee ballots to all its 320,000 military servicemen and women and overseas voters, in clear violation of the MOVE Act, FoxNews.com has learned.

According to the 2009 MOVE Act, a state must send out its military and overseas ballots 45 days prior to elections.

New York was granted a waiver to this deadline by the Department of Justice and given an additional 15 days -- until October 1 -- to send out all its ballots. On October 5, New York State Board of Elections co-directors informed federal officials that the state had not fully met their extended deadline, according to an e-mail posted online at FVAP.gov, the website of the Defense Department agency tasked with overseeing military voting.

In an e-mail sent October 5, New York State Board of Elections co-directors Robert A. Brehm and Todd Valentine wrote:

“County Boards of Elections have reported to our office that UOCAVA ballots have been transmitted to voters within their respective jurisdictions except in the City of New York, and the following counties: Erie, Niagara, Putnam and Westchester.”

And, as of Oct. 9, these ballots still have not been mailed to voters in these counties, who will now have less than 25 days to receive, mark and return their ballots, federal and state officials told FoxNews.com. New York City alone has about 50,000 servicemen and women and overseas voters.

There aren’t going to be absentee ballots for the military, at least not in WA state. It’s going to be on-line voting on a generic ballot, with no prior registration required. If that isn’t a formula for voter fraud, I don’t know what is.

Oh, and they have up to thirty days (that could have been shortened) to cast their votes. So, the Democrats could have their organizers going all over the world soliciting votes for Democrats from our troops after the election is over.

If her backside gets any bigger it can apply for statehood.

New Yawk should not be allowed to count their ballots until every ballot is returned from the military. Next time they'll speed it up a little.

Excellent idea!

It’ll be more represented in Congress than some states.
