More than one week after its extended deadline, New York still hasn’t mailed out absentee ballots to all its 320,000 military servicemen and women and overseas voters, in clear violation of the MOVE Act, FoxNews.com has learned.
According to the 2009 MOVE Act, a state must send out its military and overseas ballots 45 days prior to elections.
New York was granted a waiver to this deadline by the Department of Justice and given an additional 15 days -- until October 1 -- to send out all its ballots. On October 5, New York State Board of Elections co-directors informed federal officials that the state had not fully met their extended deadline, according to an e-mail posted online at FVAP.gov, the website of the Defense Department agency tasked with overseeing military voting.
In an e-mail sent October 5, New York State Board of Elections co-directors Robert A. Brehm and Todd Valentine wrote:
“County Boards of Elections have reported to our office that UOCAVA ballots have been transmitted to voters within their respective jurisdictions except in the City of New York, and the following counties: Erie, Niagara, Putnam and Westchester.”
And, as of Oct. 9, these ballots still have not been mailed to voters in these counties, who will now have less than 25 days to receive, mark and return their ballots, federal and state officials told FoxNews.com. New York City alone has about 50,000 servicemen and women and overseas voters.

NYC...is there any surprise there.
sarc/
And what do the Senators do, issue STATEMENTS. HOW about some ACTION.
It’s time to prosecute the criminals.
We HAVE to WIN this ELECTION before that can happen!
NO one will be prosecuted for this, now or later if the Dums keep control.
Dems defraud our soldiers on the front line, because more vote republican.
Now show me the angry republican leaders demanding justice from the heart, and THEN I’ll reconsider my belief both parties suck and republicans are idiots.
“It’s time to prosecute the criminals.”
WAY PAST TIME..call CONGRESS...MAKE noise ABOUT THIS!!!!!
This is a coordinated effort to disenfranchise the military.
Put them on a C-17 and get them out tomorrow. Or FEDEX them. And FEDEX them back.
New Yawk should not be allowed to count their ballots until every ballot is returned from the military. Next time, they’ll speed it up a little.
When the choice is clear between ballots and bullets, we may start to see changes. Until then, why should they care?
This also seems like an excellent opportunity to slap New Yawk with a class action lawsuit.
AGREED.
Send FBI or U.S. Marshals to pick them up and jet them to the soldiers. PERIOD
..as the gravitational field of her expanding backside increases..
Because most military members vote REPUBLICAN!! Were it yet another democrat voter block, the ballots would have gone out a month ago. Not a complicated issue.
Will Bloomberg simply shrug his shoulders over this? How about Paterson?
It shouldn't be a class action lawsuit. Any time someone attempts to subvert an election in this way, particularly when we're talking hundreds of thousands of voters, it should be called TREASON, and should result in a hanging when found guilty.
The People are suffering a grevious injury when our own government is suppressing the vote.
totally discusting!
