Only twenty duplicates, eh?
Then again - She must have gotten the word: she will prosecute those republicans (er, cheaters) who voted twice.
Certainly no democrat would ever, ever, cheat.

How much you wanna bet the double voters were democrats? I will go further and say that not only were they democrats, but they also have a place up north for the summer and voted absentee up there too!

How much you wanna bet the double voters were democratsGiven that the party of those trying to vote twice was not mentioned, it's a safe bet they were RATS.
Otherwise, the headline would have beeen, "Dirty Rotten Evil Bush Republican Voters Accused of Double-Voting Attempt"

As many as two dozen Palm Beach County voters could face criminal charges for attempting to vote twice in Tuesday's statewide election. What's this 'could' crap? Did they intentionally violate the law, or did they not? If so, fry'em, regardless of political party affiliation. First we get the Dem's out of office, then we put'em in jail.

Make examples of them and give them the max. It doesn't matter if they are RATS or PUBBIES either, but if I had to guess...

The funny thing is they probably still voted twice for Buchanan even though he wasn't even running this time around.

If the bump lists weren't locked out, I'd create a "Vote Fraud Watch" category...

You can bet your grandma's rocking chair that if the double voter's had been Republican you would be hearing nothing else for weeks from the media.

Let's double up and speculate how many double votes from people who live and vote in New York and have a vacation home in and vote Florida there were.
you cross match that one and I'll bet there were way more than merely twenty.

LePore has said she might also refer Palm Beach Post reporter Lou Salome's name to the State Attorney's Office for possible criminal charges regarding attempted double-voting, a third-degree felony that carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $5,000 fine. Salome did not sign or fill out a provisional ballot. Instead, he signed a voter roll list to get a card for electronic voting after he already had voted absentee to verify the county's procedures for stopping someone from voting twice. He notified precinct officials of the flaw in the system and returned the card without attempting to vote on the touch-screen machine.
So HERE'S the real story --- the person the election officials really want to get tough on is -- get this! -- the person who was not committing 'fraud' but rather DEMONSTRATING, in investigative journalistic fashion, and then REPORTING, how easy it is to commit fraud undetected.
So the REPORTER is the person they want to punish. Seems to me, IMHO, that he could bring an action against the election officials under a whistle-blower statute.
Meanwhile, later in the story it is dutifully reported that we had "unprecedented" numbers of absentee ballots. So -- connecting the dots -- not only is the abilty for fraud provable, but the inference is THAT IS WAS BEING COMMITTED ON A LARGE SCALE.
so they attack the messenger instead of the problem.
