NEW YORK (Reuters) - About 46,000 people are registered to vote in two states, New York and Florida, a violation of both states' laws that could affect the outcome of the November presidential election, according to an investigation by the Daily News.Many New Yorkers spend the winter months in sunny Florida, which played a pivotal role in the 2000 election after George W. Bush narrowly won the state in a contested ballot recount. Florida could be a crucial state in the November presidential election.
The New York tabloid examined computer records to ferret out duplicate registrations in New York City and Florida.
The Daily News said it could not provide an exact count of how many people vote in both places, because millions of names are purged between elections. But the newspaper found that between 400 and 1,000 registered voters voted twice in at least one election, a federal offense punishable by up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
Of the 46,000 registered in both states, 68 percent are Democrats, 12 percent are Republicans and 16 percent didn't align themselves with a party, the newspaper reported on Sunday.
The duel registrations have gone undetected because election officials do not check voter rolls across state lines, the newspaper said.
"There's no extensive investigation normally on a voter registration form," Steven Richman, general counsel for the city Board of Elections, told the paper. "We accept it at its face value."
bttt
We're putting up the wall Julie down in SoFla, the Kerry wave will not get past us.
AND EVERYONE WONDERS WHY THE DEMOSOCIALISTS ARE SHRIEKING ABOUT ELECTRONIC VOTING MACHINES!! IS IT BECAUSE THE RECORDS COULD EASILY BE CROSS-CHECKED TO FIND THE FELONS COMMITTING VOTE FRAUD??
IS IT BECAUSE THE DEMOSOCIALISTS WOULD SUDDENLY FIND IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO WIN ELECTIONS, ESPECIALLY IN THE VERY CORRUPT CITIES AND COUNTIES WHERE UNION MEMBERS VOTE ALL DAY LONG?
HMMMmmmmm!! And just who is screaming the loudest about the electronic voting machines again?
I wonder!!!
Bless you all!
My vote in NY is being diluted. Billy Bob, what recourse do I have?
BTTT
Indeed, that is true. I was registered in one Pennsylvania county and filled out a form to change my registration from one county to the other. I was registered in the new one, but the old county was never informed of the change. I was registered in both counties even though I voted in one.
Keep me informed please!
(I've got several articles "bookmarked" under my name as well, most are grouped by "fraud" & "year" & "state" in the title. Check those, you might a find a few more to link.)
A complaint should be filed in Florida to purge them from the roles.
If this is like Kentucky, the form they filled out to register in Florida likely required an acknowledgement that they were not registered in another state. If this is the case, their registrations in Florida are void.

Her Most Royal Highness:
"Go, Little one, and explain to the vote counters who have run out of ballots,
'Her Majesty says, 'Keep on Counting'.
Remind them that we still have their FBI files.""
RAT voter fraud is as predictable as the sunrise.
How algore almost stole an election .....

Cr@p, they can't even purge the felons there, what a bunch of wooses.
68% are registered (twice) as democrat.
I think they should require fingerprints and ID....that would sure cut down on the fraud!
