More than one week after its extended deadline, New York still hasnt 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.

If people didn't see this coming from a hundred miles away and did nothing to stop it, how in the world will we defend ourselves against the other forms of vote fraud (felons, illegals, dead democRats) that will be viral this election? The time for words is quickly coming to an end!
Well now THERE’s a crime for the new congress to investigate!
Screw the DOJ sympathizers!
FYI. PALADINO needs to put this on his agenda - ads, speaking engagements, talk radio - RUSH, SEAN, MARK. ASAP!
GOOD POST BUMP!!
The law doesn't have a penalty / remedy. It's just a bunch of feelgood crap.
42 USC 1973ff
Amended by SEC. 579 of Public Law 111-84.
The same people who want convicted felons and illegal immigrants and even minors to vote refuse it for our own soldiers.
“New Yawk should not be allowed to count their ballots until every ballot is returned from the military. Next time, theyll speed it up a little.”
I agree. This should be nationwide.
That “hundreds of thousands” you mention is a big deal. When “hundreds of thousands” of people show up on the mall in the District of Corruption, the state run propaganda machine thinks it’s a big deal and it’s all over the boob tube. Here we have “hundreds of thousands” of Americans being disenfranchised by the government’s election machine and it’s no big deal to the sleazebags in the state run “media” complex. Somebody’s @$$ needs to be thrown in jail.
Ofcourse..Bloomberg is to worried about the G.Zero Mosque to care if the troops get to vote.
...disGusting...my spelling stinks!
Fully agree. Not one on our side is talking about it.
Anything for them to win. Just awful.
Democrat move number two: The dead are rising from their graves with pre-marked ballots clutched in their once dead hands.
Democrat move number three: voting by illegal aliens and felons.
Frankly there is no differrence between NBP members standing in front of a voting place and this action. Has the very same effect. Dums are pathetic digusting JACKASSES.
I agree. Disgusting is the only polite word to use. Everything else will get me banned.
This kind of stuff makes me so angry, and sad to the point of tears.
Our brave men and women are risking their lives to fight for our freedoms, our constitution and our right to vote. They should be given highest priority to get their votes in.
These folks are just evil.
Get evil eye Andy to look into this!
Please contact me if youre interested in being added on or taken off the Carl Paladino for Governor ping list. This looks to be a fairly high volume ping list for a while, probably until the election.
Yeah...and use Polosi's jet 24/7 for this.
I want them home. I don’t trust this CIC, DOD. BRING THEM HOME NOW!
