My take is that the real point of this article is to put
the double-voters on notice that someone is watching,
even if it isn't the NY or FL Attorney General.
Getting the word out could forestall a lot of this fraud.

They wouldn't be doing unless they thought no one would
catch them.
Nonetheless, it would be interesting for Bush to ask
Kerry where he stands on prosecuting double-voters.
If Bush gets re-elected, and gains more control of the
Senate, we really need some election reform. I'm not
sure it's winning campaign issue, tho.
For all the headaches it would cause, I would like to see a two-tier voting system, that allowed "double voting".
One would have a Federal voting number (SS#?) and declare when registering which state(s) would issue them a LOCAL-ONLY ballot; and which single state would issue them a complete ballot.
"Taxation without Representation..." People with more than one home; RVers; others, who spend approximately equal time in multiple states get screwed by one or the other on LOCAL issues that affect their local taxes, zoning issues, and referenda/initiatives.
Can of worms? You bet; but that is what we 'hire' politicians to untangle.!
