Rendell Offers Solution To Military Ballot Issue
The controversy is not going away. Lawmakers and soldiers' family members continue to press the Governor Ed Rendell to give service men and women more time to cast their votes.
The Governor came to Blair County to campaign for John Kerry Wednesday, but his first order of business was to answer more questions about this ongoing controversy, and he even offered a solution.
Moments after stepping off his bus Governor Rendell headed straight for the protestors. After quieting their chants of "Let them vote" Rendell told the group why he can't give the soldiers more time to cast their ballots.
"I don't have the power to extend the deadline, only the federal court can," said Rendell. And Rendell also refered them to the Federal Voting Assistance Program website at www.fvap.gov. It's run by the Department of Defense, and Rendell said it allows all soldiers and their families overseas to either obtain an absentee ballot or vote on-line.
Thomas Robison, whose son is in Ethiopia, said he'll tell his son about the site right away. "As long as their is a way for him to vote then I am satisfied," said Robison.
But Robison and many of the other protestors are not totally satisfied. He still thinks Rendell could do more for the soldiers. "I still don't understand the harm to extend the deadline for paper ballots."
A Channel 6 News investigation found one problem with Rendell's remarks. Soldiers and their families can obtain absentee ballots through the website, but the site does not allow soldiers to vote online.
The best way to pay for this is to begin impeachment hearings. Surely his obstructionist shennanigans violate PA law to the extent of being impeachable offenses...all that is needed is a PA legislator with a pair.
Action News strikes again!
Thats great, this country could use a whole lot more guy's like you.
Rendell is a slick, very corrupt lawyer and former mayor and DA for Philly. He knows how to play the system to his advantage.
His standard operating procedure is to be in conformance to the law technically, while making a travesty of it on a moral and philosphical level.
Just ask him how he acquired lots of properties in Philly when he was DA..using the system to his advantage.
Yeah they plan to count ALL the ballots that arrive by or on Nov 2. After that they just don't consider them ballots I guess. Who knows how their demented minds function.
Unfortunately, you are probably correct. Dom Giordano just reported that there are more people registered to vote here than there are people over the age of 18! I just don't know how they are going to reconcile the numbers, since Philadelphia has been steadily losing population, due to big government socialist practices. In Philadelphia, everyone is equal, just some more equal than others. Yes, I agree, they will flood the City with fraudulent votes to counter the surrounding suburban areas.
Are you catching Curt on Dom right now.. He B Fired UP!
I just turned it on, thanks.
I'm Listening to Dom G.
Give'em Hell Curt!!
He was truely outraged at the presser today. He really is one of the good guys.
I read in the Philly Inquirer that Fast Eddie is on a Bus Tour for Kerry this week
Ain't that special. I wish I was close enough to make it to the Stolen Honor showing in Aston township tonite. Sounds like they had a really good crowd!
Curt mentioned there might even be a third viewing tonight
It was also mentioned the property owner in Blue Bell that was to air the movie rec'd all kinds of threats if he allowed it to be aired
He talked about this at tonight's showing of Stolen Honor in Aston Pa.
He's not attacking our military, he's attacking our country, the Republic!
Rendell is a disgrace to America. Votes for prisoners, but none for our military. Well Rendell has been noticed by other Americans thanks to Glen Beck's radio program today. And Beck slaughterd Rendell. I do have to wonder, if America is attacked again and Rendell and his family are hit, if he survives, who will he blame?
