Altschuler has a chance if you believe the reports on the web. According to the report that has him 15 down ALL the absentee from the East End,especially the South Fork have been counted.The remain ing absentee votes are from Brookhaven Town which is a GOP stronghold. The problem will occur with challenged ballots. Most of these are Dem absentee votes from Florida. NY has thousands of snow birds. They key will be if the GOP cross references with Fla to find double voting This would invalidate these absentees. But with Crist as governor I don’t see much hope for cooperation.
“They key will be if the GOP cross references with Fla to find “double voting.””
I sure hope they do. That issue has been a thorn in my side, even before the ‘00 brouhaha. Some people simply don’t care about following the law, and think THEY are free to vote in two places.
I'd love to see some double voters caught. A good remedy in addition to fines and jail would be a suspension of their voting rights in all locations for at least 10 years.
