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.

Hum, that is an interesting thought. Do you think they would actually be that brazen. I am beginning to think they just might be.
A criminal complaint was filed with the Florida AG. They couldn’t have cared less.
Yeah Really!!!
I was watching the evening news while preparing dinner and NBC was awful as ususal, with their slobbering over Zero...then I turned it to ABC.
OMG, it was nothing but one political story in favor of the Dummies. If it hadn’t been so obvious I would have turned the channe. But I just watched in amazement at the BLATANT use of the “News” to run dummie free propaganda. FEC where are you or have you been corrupted too.
Lawyer up, Republicans.
Over the long haul, disenfranchising the Legions is playing with fire, I don’t care how much the oath to the Constitution is emphasized in the military. At some point, those in the military won’t take getting short-changed while pols who have never served give the Constitution lip service.
This is a travesty and done absolutely on purpose.
Thanks!
Never expect a Democrat to obey the law until you give him adequate reason to believe he’ll be punished if he doesn’t.
Nope, no surprise whatsoever!
Can’t vot’em out if you can’t vote.
The FEC is in the back pocket of Zer0. Just like the IRS, EPA, FBI, DOJ, etc,etc,etc.
The whole effing system is corrupt from A-Z.
Kathy, most on your canteen ping list would likely be interested in this development.
To a Democrat, the purpose of laws is to keep the opposition in check in regards to any political question, and all aspects of life are political to a Democrat. Any laws that don’t favor Democrats are unjust or not meant to be enforced.
> “Send FBI or U.S. Marshals to pick them up and jet them to the soldiers. PERIOD”

Obama could send Michelle; it would give her a chance to get out of the house....
Are they even bothering to give an excuse????
How CAN they do this to our heroes! It REALLY angers me that
they are left out of the process that they pay for with their
very lives!!!
There must be SOMEthing that can be done!...something.....
‘Tis a sad day in America...
