Our military oversees continues to get screwed by Democrats. This is nothing new of course, going back at least a decade when Al Gore's lawyers, in an effort to steal the election in Florida, started challenging all military absentee votes and getting many of them tossed for trivial things like not having a postage stamp. It's gotten to the point now that our military personnel are being willfully dienfranchised even before they get a chance to vote. From the New York Daily News: Board of Elections gaffe may nullify New York soldiers' overseas absentee ballots
The Board of Elections is facing another "royal screwup" - this time for failing to ship absentee ballots to New York troops serving overseas.Step in Chuck U Schumer, the liberal Democrat Senator that wants nothing less than to disenfranchise every military vote but talks just the opposite:
"Our troops sacrifice their lives to protect our freedoms. They should never, ever be denied the right to vote," said Sen. Chuck Schumer, who pushed a 2009 law establishing deadlines for mailing absentee ballots.Deadlines that to Democrats apparently aren't worth the paper they are written on:
New York election officials were required to ship the ballots to U.S. citizens living overseas by Sept. 17. Because New York primaries were held Sept. 14, the feds granted local officials an extension until Oct. 1.It's almost as if the system of certification is designed by the Democrat ruling class in New York to disenfranchise our military. They know darned well that military votes heavily favor Republicans over Democrats. Thus the design here. Need I remind anyone of similar stores from past elections, such as these?:
Several New York counties blew past the extension - including the city's five boroughs.
..New York State Board of Elections officials informed the feds late last week of their failure to meet the Oct. 1 deadline, which also occurred in Westchester, Putnam, Erie and Niagara counties.
In all, there are 49,468 registered overseas voters in New York State, 20,172 of whom are in the military.
...City election officials, still reeling from a string of primary election snafus Bloomberg deemed a "royal screwup," said they were delayed because primary results weren't certified until last Tuesday.
