Fine and imprison those responsible for not sending the ballots as required by law. Extending a voting period is daangerous as it gives the left more time to rig the vote count.
BINGO! Exactly, no winner can be declared until every military ballot is counted. If ONE soldier from that district is disenfranchised, there is no winner.
COURT CASE? I think there are legal issues if all votes are not counted!!
A remedy exists to punish those responsible. Apply each missing military ballot as a vote for his or her non-incumbant state rep, state senator, US congressman, US senator. Just analyzing the probably military disenfranchised voter's intent. No chad forensics required.
You'd think that, since the military leans Republican, it was in Bush's best interest to remedy the problem, but he didn't. It hasn't been a priority for any Congress or President (or jounalists aside from Novak), no matter what party.
One of Novak's columns: The Soldier Voting Scandal
Moochele is pandering for votes INSIDE polling places. A blatant and arrogant disregard for the law. Not much is being said about that either.
How about immediately jailing the bureaucrats who are responsible for getting the ballots out?
Make it a felony conviction so they can no longer hold public office and keep them in jail for a long enough period of time to get the message through. Tack on the maximum fine for each offense.
Their replacements will think twice before pulling this stunt again.
Require that state primary elections be held at least 90 days before the general election, to allow the printing and mailing of all absentee ballots.
In New York the primary is held the second Tuesday in September. I say it’s too close to the general election.
State level lawsuits and injunctions against the Secretary of State in that state.
Injunction would delay certification of the election vote count until all the returned absentees have been counted, time limit two weeks after election.
The problem becomes one of standing and authority. Also if the SoS has been turned, what about the AG and the top three judges?
All of these SoS’s in these states certified all of the presidential candidates last time around, some even allowed a declared non-citizen on the ballot.
I don’t believe DOD has the authority to sue a state, that would be the most powerful. Other than driving an Abrams up the capitol steps into the foyer of the legislature in those states, one step up from the Battle of Athens Tennessee.
Why in the hell, in this age of computers, tele-communications, jets can't we move a few pieces of paper in a day or two?
Have the Military tally the ballots in the field, and send the results back in a diplomatic sealed pouch.
There are a lot of ways to do it, but first, you have to have the will to do it.
I have been told by a relatively reliable source that unless the outcome of any given election is doubtful (ie. close) they don’t even bother to count the absentees, local or military. Anyone know about this?
Is there a complete list of states that failed here...?
Pass a law enabling military members to personally sue state election officialsflr violation of their civil and voting rights
WE all rermember judges keeping the polls open in St. Louis and New Jersey in the past, because lawyers went before them claiming some couldn’t vote
They have hounded me for a year to sign up for a mail in ballot, so i did and they sent me the card saying i was a mail in voter, but have not sent me a ballot yet.
And some people who have just registered for the first time already has theirs.
Identify every district where this has happened and file suit RIGHT NOW to ensure no election is declared final until EVERY single ballot is counted
