Sen. Charles Schumer blasted Board of Elections officials Monday for blowing a deadline for sending ballots to troops overseas - putting their chance to vote at risk.
"Our troops sacrifice their lives to protect our freedoms. They should never, ever be denied the right to vote," Schumer said.
There are approximately 50,000 New York City residents serving overseas - and 320,000 statewide.
Elections officials were originally supposed to ship the ballots to troops by Sept. 17. Because New York primaries were held Sept. 14, the federal government granted local officials an extension until Oct. 1.

Maybe, JUST MAYBE, a field commander of US forces will man up and outflank this manouever by making sure his guys get to vote instead of JUST DIE already.
blasting while he benefits...Schmucky
Put your actions where your mouth is, either change party affiliation or file criminal actions against the entire election board.
The Democrat Party has helped keep the American Military man from voting for years. They all are liars just like Obama. The ignorant in America will destroy us.

How convenient.
Anyone who really thinks this was an accident or “gaffe,” I have a bridge to sell them.
The Brooklyn Bridge is already taken, but I’ll sell you the Queensboro Bridge if you give me a good offer.
Fly them over now Schumer if you’re so damn concerned.
This was well orchestrated by Chucky Schumer and the rest of the New York RATS to prevent our military (over 300,000 in NY alone) from voting for non-Nobama candidates. Save your outrage, you filthy ba$tardS. The RATS know full well exactly what they did. Disgusting! And now to feign complete well-planned ignorance and delayed outrage is ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING!
Yes, I’m sure Schumer is just all broken up about this.
Took 11 days to start blasting, Mr. Schumer?
Not only was this “gaffe” contrived to occur, but so is it that Shmucky Schumer would be out front with his terlet mouth, when in reality it is HIS party that will engage in the extensive cheating.
thinking the issue was about the 11/2 elections.
Well send the ballots already. Stop playing around. The election board in New York needs to be fired immediately and get people whom will not play politics. The soldiers should be given the right to vote over a bunch of convicts in a prison. More corruptocratic poltics in play. Tel Obozo and Chucky Schmucky to resign immediately, A comander in chief whom is nothing but a donkey
This was no gaffe, it was outright voter suppression.
Someone needs to be in jail for this.
