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.

It is totally beyond understanding that they prevent the very
ones who are protecting us from the bad guys from having a
say in our local, state and federal government!

I hope they are prosecuted, but with the thugs who are in
power, it probably won’t happen!

Spread the word if there’s anyone else you think has a ping list which is related to elections or the military.

Erie, where Paladino is from? Westchester, where DioGuardi is from? This is election tampering. Where is the FEC?

Erie country went HEAVILY Paladino in the primaries and Buffalo is in that county and has a decent sized population.

Niagara county is right next door and it wouldn't surprise me if IT went for Paladino as well.

Two very strategic countries to neglect the ballots for.

So they don’t comply with the law - so what. Until there are serious career altering consequences, the Democrats will do whatever they want.

Why not modify the Federal law to require that states that fall short of the 45 day cutoff be required to pay for expedited FedEx return. At about $25 a pop they might make more of an effort.

This is only another plan by the left to keep the elections in the Democrats hands. The military is primarily conservative, therefore, it is necessary to restrict their ability to vote. Nothing to see here folks! just keep on moving (Or is it Move on.org)

The Dummies don’t want the military vote for fear of a massive negetive vote for the CIC. Plain and simple.

It should be a nationwide TV ad - this is about our country not ONLY NY. The GOP should be ON THIS - but they won’t.

NY wouldn’t care. They’d just raise the cigarette tax again.

They were too busy getting the ballots filled out at the prisons and jails to send them to the military. After all, those people vote conservative.
