More news on the Kevin Shelley abuse of HAVA Funds in California. I have been investigating the oversight of the HAVA Funds for the military absentee vote and David Drucker of the LA Daily News has stumbled upon the issue as well.

The California Association of Clerks and Elections Officials said measures passed by Congress in 2002 to ensure that ballots are accurate and that all votes are counted have not been properly implemented by Secretary of State Kevin Shelley, who already faces accusations of misusing voter education funds to enhance his image and help the Democratic Party. Required actions to improve voter access for the disabled and military personnel serving overseas also were not taken, officials said.

Required actions to improve voter access for the disabled and military personnel serving overseas also were not taken, officials said.

Now, three weeks before the Nov. 2 presidential vote, county elections officials say Shelley has failed to implement several HAVA requirements, leaving California's 58 counties unable to comply with many provisions of the 2-year-old law.

Not establishing a contact office at the state level to provide voter-registration and absentee-ballot information to military personnel serving overseas. Although overseas voting began Sept. 3, there is still no such office, despite a Jan. 1, 2004, deadline for its creation.

Miller said a military personnel clearinghouse has been operational since Jan. 1, but a surprised McCormack said registrars were not made aware of this.

Said Trout: "If that's the case, it must be a military secret."

As a result of this I'd say we should declare CA null and void and throw out all of its electoral votes.

As a resident of the People's Republic of Kali, I agree. All electoral votes must be thrown out.

It took several months for the SofS office to answer some questions for me, and it was a typical dem answer that didn't answer the questions. What is Calyfornia doing to prevent illegal (or legal) aliens from registering to vote and from voting? Inquiring minds want to know.


I guess I will have to complain to the Governors's office....or the US Attorney...


Welcome to Calyfornia where your Costco card can be used for I.D.

Why was this problem not fixed before now? Why should the military lose their vote?

Because a recent Military Times Poll - publisher of the Army Times (and other campanion publications for the armed services) - reported that 75% of the military vote is supporting President Bush.

Sample: 2,754 active-duty and 1,411 reserve and Guard members who responded to an email invitation to take the poll from the publisher.

Shelley spent the HAVA money for personal 'slush-fund' and Dems don't care about the military vote - they actually believe that active-duty military should NOT be allowed to vote, because they are a civilian run operation.
