At the center of one of the most widely publicized public corruption cases in Palm Beach County history, Kevin McCarty’s name is one that rarely goes unrecognized these days. And yet it failed to ring a single bell in the Palm Beach County Elections Supervisor’s Office recently, when elections workers sent McCarty a brand-new voter registration card – little more than a year after returning home from prison and despite a felon status that makes him constitutionally ineligible to vote.
This at a time when the state and federal government continue to do battle, suing each other even, over how best to purge local voter rolls of those who have no right to vote. Clearly, it’s an issue Palm Beach County hasn’t figured out yet.
When asked how such a well-known felon could be sent a new voter registration card, Palm Beach County Elections Supervisor Susan Bucher said: “I didn't even know his first name was Lawrence. I don't look up felons in the newspaper. This is another instance of bad voter data by the state."

But how can that be possible? Voter fraud is so very RARE! It is scary to think of all the cases that are not caught.
Are the illegal aliens’ and felons’ voter cards signed: “Compliments of Pres. Obama and Eric Holder”?
In Darkest Louisiana, icons were helpfully provided on the ballots, and voters were told to pull the lever under the donkey. Truly, “Voting for Dummies” benefits the Dems’ voter base.
There’s something about too much sun, That must be it. How come it’s always Florida?
It is no coincidence that the last syllable in Florida is ‘duh’.
true. Sigh
Roughly 3% of the population is either in prison, on parole or on probation. That’s at any given time, not counting the convicted criminals who are not in any of the above categories. If the authorities haven’t been tracking felons who are no longer in the system, just keeping track of current ones will be a challenge. Palm Beach County has 1.3m inhabitants. Its share of felons could be as large as 13,000 people, assuming no felon moves in from outside the county. Without a full time staffer or a national database, I don’t see how this gets taken care of. They could make voting by felons punishable with a 10 year prison term, but that would probably create the political impetus for restoring felon voting rights.
It’s strange how the Democrats were so eager to “disallow” Military Absentee ballots from overseas posts yet the drag their feet when it comes to removing felons, illegals and the deceased from the rolls.
Outside of scale, is there any difference between what that white hating Holder is attempting to do and the prelude to the Battle of Athens TN?
When you use the full weight of the Department of Just-Us to prevent any attempt to clean up the voter rolls then IMO there is no difference other than scale but I am sure Holder will use HIS people quite effectively like the NBPP in Philly.
It wouldn't surprise me if this whole rabid squirrel act - and I write as a Santorum supporter - put the kibosh on his primary hopes.But Santorum didn’t stop.
"This is Martin Luther King Day,” he said. “This is a huge deal in the African-American community, because we have very high rates of incarceration, disproportionately high rates, particularly with drug crimes, in the African-American community.
"The bill I voted on was the Martin Luther King Voting Rights bill,” he said. “And this was a provision that said, particularly targeted African-Americans. And I voted to allow — to allow them to have their voting rights back once they completed their sentence. Do you agree with that?"
Romney finally relented, arguing, "I don't think people who have committed violent crimes should be allowed to vote."
Santorum instantly pointed out that when Romney was governor, felons could vote while they were on probation. "Why didn't you try to change that when you were governor of Massachusetts?"
Romney — who is favored in Palmetto State polls — argued he had a majority-Democratic legislature before Santorum hammered him again.
"What the governor said is he didn't propose anything to change that law, and what he's saying is that the ad that says that I ... voted to allow felons to vote is inaccurate. And it is inaccurate," Santorum raged. "And if I had something — the super PAC that was supporting me — that was inaccurate, I would go out and say, 'stop it.'"
” Without a full time staffer or a national database, I don’t see how this gets taken care of.”
So Holder is attempting to prevent states from using a Federal Government database to make sure only eligible individuals vote.
DHS fought for some time but eventually released the database but not before the timing between a primary election and the cleaning of the voter rolls became an issue. DHS and that racist Holder wanted to make sure that the database could not be used prior to the primary. If they had held out a few months longer they could have put the general election into turmoil and given the legal battles Just-Us is pursuing, they might very well prevent purging the rolls of ineligible voters before the November election and certainly will do their best to prevent any Voter ID initiatives from taking place.

How is it the DEMOCRAPS get voter registraton cards sent to them in the mail
I have never gotten one
He’ll be voting early, often, and Democrat!
We just moved to Wyoming from Minnesota. Our son moved out here 4 years ago.
So guess what I get in the mail the other day --- a notice saying that I will be removed from the voter rolls since I have moved.
Now that is just fine !!! No problem...
However, my son has never gotten one of these --- each time when we went to vote, I reminded the ladies that my son is no longer a MN resident (I could see his name on the list and anyone could have just said that they were him -- no id required, you just state your name).
Nor has my husband received one of these postcards either -- and he actually moved out here earlier that I did.
So what is the difference between me & my husband and son ?
Well all the political donations have been in my name (I wrote the checks) and none of them went to Democrats. That is the ONLY difference between us. My son is gone from MN for 4 years, my husband 9 months. I have been gone for 6 months and I get the notice.
Very interesting... Wish I was there to see the voter rolls come November, my son & husband will be on them, but I won't be.
I wonder what kook will be using their names to vote. Plus I am very curious how they knew I left ? Big brother perhaps ?
“He’ll be voting early, often, and Democrat!” yep that’s the problem. although in this case McCarty is a Republican. the problem is if he got a new voter card, who else got one!
Almost thought this was going to be about O.J., but I remember he is still in the pokey right now...And I’m not sure he still resides in Florida, if he ever officially did...
I’m willing to be every dog registered for a license received one!

Each state handles their voter notifications as they deem necessary. In Texas each registered voter gets a new card every two years. Supposedly if you don’t live at the address on the card it is supposed to be return to the registrars office and not forwarded.
