I heard on the radio that they had been made aware of this. It sounded like they were going to check the voter rolls for duplication. They had already made sure thay weren't registered twice in state and now between NC and SC.
I read that it might have been 35 to 50 thousand that voted in both NY and FL in 2000...
Thanks for the ping
Nowadays we have bar-code scannable driver's licenses. Can't we at least do cross checks on the people who have registrations and driver's licenses? Seems like a given state's Dept of Motor Vehicles is the state's identity bureau; you have to give significant evidence to get a DL, and they also provide, on similar proof, a non-license photo ID. It certainly seems that the DMV is the logical place to register to vote, and to check against multiple in-state registrations. And it seems that the states are pretty much set against granting a license to drive in one state without confiscating that person's preexisting out-of-state license.
That might not be complete proof against double registration, but it sure would control the problem somewhat if you had to get a non-license ID without using your license as ID in order to vote illegally in another state.
'Course the actual problem is the resistance of the Democratic Party to checks on vote fraud. That, and the fact that whether card-carrying or not, journalists are Democrats.
Saw that early this morning. Disgusting!
That's incredible and if the election officials in Fla. and NY don't have their act together by now, we are doomed.
