New Jersey residents displaced by Hurricane Sandy will be able to vote in the election on Tuesday through e-mail or fax.

I do not have access to NY Times. If someone can provide a link? This came through on Twitter via "BREAKING NEWS"

[luckystarmom]

That will really help those that don’t have electricity.

[wideawake]

I don’t believe this for one second.

[FredZarguna]

Nope. Sounds like Internet noise to me.

[wideawake]

The WaPo is confirming it now. If true, a new frontier of fraud has been opened.

[Lmo56]

That will really help those that don’t have electricity.

They will prolly let them vote by e-mail or fax from the police dept - OH YEAH, ASSUMING one has gas enough to get there ...

Voters displaced by Hurricane Sandy will be able to vote by fax or e-mail, state says (from NJ.com)

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Recipe for disaster.

[funfan]

What happened to the army trucks?

[wideawake]

Now posted on NJ Division of Elections site. Designating such voters as “overseas voters” for legal purposes.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Maybe they will just deem the results.

[sickoflibs]

email ???

What could go wrong with that?

How do voters without power get email?

[SWAMPSNIPER]

The highway patrol probably confiscated all their guns.

[mnehring]

Voting by email. What could go wrong?

[tsowellfan]

You got a link to this story? Lots of things are said on Twitter but I never take it at face value without a link attached to the tweet

[tsowellfan]

Disregard. Someone posted it

[MacMattico]

...and Election Law allows this just how exactly?

NJ is for Obama, but you just know if this is allowed and somehow Romney won, the Democrats would freak and lose their “count every vote” chant.

[wideawake]

I have no power, but a generator helps. They were holding early voting - at a single location per county. 650,000 people live in Monmouth County, with probably half of them without power, and a single early voting location. Unbelievable.

How about the Military votes-they can all from New Jesey now.

Oh, it was just posted in a tweet? Now it will become front page NY Times , doesn't matter if it's true or not.

[ex91B10]

Only currently registered voters can use this method from an article I read.

The Kenyan must go.

[funfan]

Didn’t early voting start way before Sandy came along?

[tsowellfan]

In an unprecedented twist to Election Day in New Jersey, registered voters displaced by Hurricane Sandy will be able to cast ballots by fax or e-mail through Tuesday

I guess the Chinese will stay up a little later on their tuesday night.

What's unprecedented today becomes the norm tomorrow.

[tsowellfan]

The link was just posted in the thread.

[wideawake]

By mail, yes.

[FredZarguna]

Wow. Well, it is Joisey. This is what you get with one Party rule.

Thank God it isn't Ohio, Pennsylvania or Virginia.

[tsowellfan]

Adolf Hitler registered in Ohio

He can cancel his flight to NJ and just go online now (if he’s registered)

[ex91B10]

"What's unprecedented today becomes the norm tomorrow."

Just like our reliance on "precedent" in our law system. Not always a good thing.

The Kenyan must go.

[ex91B10]

I saw that. Also saw something about a person in NC voting four times (in person).

Any system can be gamed.

The Kenyan must go.

RE :”I have no power, but a generator helps.”

See: Would rising prices(if legal)work better than state controlled Rationing in NJ after this hurricane?

[Spunky]

I saw it on the ticker tape on Fox News. So it is true.

[clearcarbon]

In NJ, you're not to late to vote online.

[PastorBooks]

My BASIC is a little rusty...

10 PRINT “ELECTION 2012”
15 INPUT $VOTE
20 IF $VOTE=”Obama” GOTO 15
30 IF $VOTE=”Romney” THEN $VOTE=”Obama”
40 GOTO 15

[Ronin]

Well, heck! What could possibly go wrong?

[softwarecreator]

This is getting out of control!  Next I'll be able to go to Facebook and "LIKE" my vote in.

[eddie willers]

I don't believe this for one second.

Teenage boys, bottle of bourbon, keys to the car....what could go wrong?

[onyx]

Out rageous.

[Evil Slayer]

I just emailed my vote for Romney and it went through okay. Hey, this is neat. I’m from Missouri. /s

[trappedincanuckistan]

I just voted for Romney by email from Canada :)

[Evil Slayer]

Hey, party time. :)

[onyx]

LOL. To NJ?

[edh]

You forgot a variable to increment the vote count ;) ... just seeing this sure brings back memories though :).

[submarinerswife]

As if Romney is a contender in NY or NJ. Let them have Obama. My concern is OH, VA and FL.

[9YearLurker]

Another big, wet kiss from Christie to Obama?

[PastorBooks]

“You forgot a variable to increment the vote count ;) ... just seeing this sure brings back memories though :).”

Something more like...
IF $VOTE = “Obama” THEN OBAMACOUNT = OBAMACOUNT + 2

Maybe also something that asks how many times people want to vote?

I haven’t worked with BASIC in 24 years. It says something about the simplicity of a language that lets you throw something together after so much time has passed.

[Gefn]

I can verify this. I got a call from someone last night saying they were calling from my congressman’s office and then reading a canned script to me of if I can’t get to my polling place, here are some of the alternatives I can do to vote, including having someone come and collect me to take me to vote.

I must add to this, that over 40 percent of the township I live in NJ is STILL without electricity. Many people are recharging their smart phones, and their iPads via their cars to find out what is going on with the outside world.

I will also add- I have seen no riots, yes, long lines for gasoline but nothing worse than a few birds flipped and a few names called. Everyone has been acting civil and looking after their neighbors, especially those that are elderly and those with young children.

PSE&G assures those without we will have electricity by Tuesday or Wednesday. I was lucky to get mine back about 30 hours after Sandy hit.

[Puddleglum]

the electric or the non-eletric kind?

Last night, this was a crawl on a Fox News screen.
