He knew what he was doing, typical crat brat, thinks he is smart enough to get away with it, "ie/one of the what is the meaning of is" students. He should be arrested.
BUMP--I agree!
LeVota, 39, is the trial team leader in the community justice unit of Prosecutor Mike Sanders' office. LeVota has served on the county's homicide case review committee, on the death penalty review committee and in many other specialized positions.
In response to The Star's inquiries about LeVota, Sanders said his office would seek opinions from the Missouri attorney general and secretary of state “as to what the election codes may require in these circumstances.”
Sanders said he never had seen a similar election issue arise before, nor had several other prosecutors whom he called. Sanders said he was seeking the opinions “out of an overabundance of caution.”
“Frankly, the law is a little unclear on this,” Sanders said.
My twelve year old son has a firm grasp on this, you get to vote once! If these two Democrats can’t figure that out, they need to be removed from office and given free room and board at the Gray Bar Hotel.
Who is "they", Mr. Hardiman?
But as Hewits book title says, If it isn't Close, They Can't Cheat.
The media push is to make it seem close, so a Bush clear victory will appear to confound the apparent media truth. Additionally, such appearance of impending close outcome will hide Democrat fraud more easily.

I guess Hardiman figured if you owned two houses, you had two votes, so does 8 houses give John Kerry 8 votes...what nonsense.
The prosecutor needs to get his ducks lined up. One does not fool around with voter fraud.
Geez, these Democrats, especially the more educated ones, have a problem with the concept of "one person, one vote." This is but ONE instance of a COLLEGE-EDUCATED DEMOCRAT engaging in multiple voting. They never "knowingly" defraud others. I believe that; they are quite capable of doing it UNCONSCIOUSLY. Perhaps it is second nature to them. (sarcasm - NOT!)
They also have a problem with defining words. No doubt this results from being deeply steeped in propaganda and Orwellian double-think. But this is perfectly in keeping with their unswerving dedication to the practice of cradle-to-grave MISEDUCATION. Are they borderline SOCIOPATHS???
So, the word "live" has a lot of different meanings - ROTFLMAO - and Billy Jeff Clinton thought that the word "is" also had multiple meanings...
Well, he is smart enough to use the "I am too stupid to figure it all out" defense. But then again, he is a lawyer.
I'd be glad to send them Lacy Clay if only he couldn't return.
Clever for a lawyer.
What is constant is that as many lawyers, this guy has no ethics.
Please you wouldn't want to "suppress" the vote or "disenfrancise" anyone.
ROTFL How can you not know you are voting twice?

Days before Phil LeVota was to be named as Chairman of the Democratic Party, anonymous sources called the KC Star to report voting irregularities. The Star headline was “Democrat Official caught voting twice in Missouri: Too many Votes raise question of fraud.” This story was a misleading article attempting to smear Phil LeVota who is an outstanding member of this community and here is the rest of the story.
• FACT: LeVota’s voting activity raised no “question of fraud” with anyone but this brand new reporter encouraged by LeVota’s political foes.
• FACT: LeVota only voted one time in any one election. The headline misleads readers into thinking LeVota voted twice in the same election.
• FACT: The Missouri Secretary of State’s office reviewed the KC Star reporter’s “allegations” and concluded LeVota had done nothing wrong or illegal.
• FACT: The Jackson County Election Board did not find anything wrong with LeVota’s voting activity. The Election Board routinely forwards voter issues to the prosecutor and did not send this to the prosecutor. The Republican Director did not find any illegal activities with LeVota’s voting.
• FACT: After review by the Missouri Attorney General, LeVota was cleared of any wrong doing and found that none of his actions were of an illegal nature
• FACT: Some people have voted twice in the same election which is understandably illegal and is what LeVota himself prosecuted Hardiman for doing. It is ‘interesting’ for the reporter to quote a convicted felon to comment about the speculation that his prosecutor has done something wrong. It was downright unethical journalism to even compare the two situations. They are not similar at all.
• FACT: There is no fraud issue if you vote one time. The law allows anyone to register to vote from wherever they want. People with homes in different cities or states can pick one, but only one, place to register and to vote.
• FACT: US residents living abroad can vote absentee at a relative’s address EVEN THOUGH THEY DON’T LIVE THERE
• FACT: Homeless persons can list their address as the “12th Street Viaduct” and even though they don’t actually live there, they still get to vote on election day.
• FACT: College students can keep their voter registration at their parents’ home even though they no longer live there. Returning to vote at that address is perfectly legal.
• FACT: LeVota owned two homes and after immediately upon selling his Independence home, he actually followed the law to change his voter registration from the old address.
• FACT: On the change, LeVota’s registration address was not that of his home in Lee’s Summit but that of a relative’s address. LeVota won’t publicly comment on why that is. And frankly, it is no one’s business for why that is. Sources say that LeVota and his wife had gone through several unsuccessful in-vitro fertilizations to have a baby and it had taken a strain on their marriage and maybe they had separated. LeVota says he changed the registration address to where he would be living on election day. That’s exactly what the law states for a voter to do.
• FACT: LeVota seems to be being publicly embarrassed because he did exactly what he was supposed to and changed his registration on the date of his sale from the old address and, if separated from his wife, then changing it to where he was going to be living.
• FACT: Frankly, LeVota could have told the reporter about his private life, but in choosing to protect his family, the reporter speculated. It is commendable for LeVota to take the high road and disgusting for a naïve reporter to take the low ground for a political purpose.
Here’s what you did wrong, Phil. You actually thought reporters were honest and you tried to talk to them. (You were wrong). You actually thought that it was none of the KC Star’s business about what was going on in your private life. (You were right). LeVota is just a member of the Democratic Party that tries to help candidates and we wonder why good people don’t ever want to run for public office!
P.S.: January 2005: The members of the Jackson County Democratic Party unanimously elected Phil LeVota as their Chairman. People are saying LeVota has been the most effective Chair in many years.
"• FACT:"
Nice of you to sign up to post the democrat talking points on the issue.
