The DOJ and the DOD shaft our Soldiers yet again.

NYC...is there any surprise there.

Kathy, most on your canteen ping list would likely be interested in this development.

To a Democrat, the purpose of laws is to keep the opposition in check in regards to any political question, and all aspects of life are political to a Democrat. Any laws that don’t favor Democrats are unjust or not meant to be enforced.

Military absentee ballots still not sent

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Now, I wonder why LIBERAL ol’ New York would do such a thing!

PING!

[NY.SS-Bar9]

This is a direct result of some counties not being able to certify their vote from the primary election.
Blame the new machines and HAVA.

[Flint]

So what is the penalty and who enforces it?

[Oceander]

NYC...is there any surprise there.

As one who has to suffer under the reign of Emperor Bloomie, no, there is not an ounce of suprise here. Is there no-one with standing who could sue to force the distribution of the ballots? If those with standing are only those troops who are overseas, then surely a derivative suit brought by a friend-of-the-plaintiff" should suffice.

According to FVAP.gov, these are the states that requested a MOVE act waiver:

When you click on each state, it will have the state’s waiver application and DOD’s response. A detailed explanation of the process the Department used in making the decisions as well as the particular explanation for each state.

Immediately indict and issue arrest warrants for former New York Secretary of State Lorraine Cortes-Vazquez and current NY SOS Ruth Noemi Colon.

Thanks Marty62. The blame for this should be put directly on the shoulders of the Demwits in NY state, and needs to be hammered on by the hothead Pubbie running for governor.

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.

The Republicans need to make this a political issue. They need to say what has happened and need to tell Republican voters to represent the soldiers in this election who are not able to vote by going to the polls. They are putting their lives out on the line for us every day.

If ever a Supreme Court Cert. Pet. was needed wih Mandamus in aid, it is this situation. WHY DOESN’T A VETERAN’S GROUP TAKE THIS TO SCOTUS????

[tutstar]

they have no morals or conscience

[hsrazorback1]

Would this have any Clinton fingerprints?

[NY.SS-Bar9]

This is a direct result of the State being unable to certify the election until weeks after the primary.

New machines (Required under HAVA) and untrained poll workers are to blame.

[Brookhaven]

Deliberate.

After the election, they will go before a judge and say since the ballots were mailed late, the deadline for returning them should be moved back. A judge will agree.

The Dems will now have time to flood in enough fraudlent mail ballots to throw the election to whoever they want.

[Marty62]

AS OF NOON TODAY THEY STILL HAVEN’T BEEN MAILED. ny TIME
