Cuomo Signs Order Allowing Hurricane Victims To Vote Anywhere

With Election Day turmoil expected because of the ongoing problems caused by Superstorm Sandy, Gov. Cuomo has signed an executive order allowing displaced voters to cast ballots at any polling site.

A person would go to a polling place, sign an affidavit and fill out a ballot anonymously, Cuomo said.

The vote will count for the presidential race or the U.S. Senate race.

But a person’s vote won’t count if they are voting at a site that is not their home state Senate or Assembly district.

“It’s fair,” he said. “You can’t vote for a race that you’re not eligible to vote for.”

“It’s a difficult situation,” he said. “The Board of Elections appears to be working hard to do everything they can. But you have people who are displaced. We’re trying to do the best we can. We want to allow everyone to vote and make it easy as possible.”

NOTE:Celeste got this memo that went out to local boards of electon from the state board.

I tried 3 times to get a search to even return a screen.

Only get a blank.

Andrew Cuomo is one of the biggest crooks in the party. But this sure beats everything. Can he do this? They will vote ANONYMOUSLY? Will they show any ID, or would that be racist?

In this case, “anywhere” is a subset of “everywhere.”

Fortunately, NY was already in obozo’s column.

Unless “any” polling site includes Ohio, he’s just bailing water from one part of the boat to another.

Did he indicate in how many states? We’ve got a lot of New Yorkers down here in Florida, people like former NYCer Deborah Wasserman Schultz. And it has been proven that there has been prior instances of just such bi-state voting.

Many states allow to cast contingency ballots if you are out of your district on election day. They will not allow to vote on local issues but just states national and state if your out of your county. If you in your county you can usually also vote on county wide issues.

Let the governor just declare that all New York registered voters have been recorded to cast ballots for Traitorobama and the Demonicrats and every bond spending proposition on any New York ballot.

New Yorkers will save time and gas, the governor gets all the corruption done with at once, rather than have drag out with charges and countercharges, and it's New York - they're used to bending over for such corruption by now.

Anonymously?!!!

Heck, why do they even have to go anywhere at all?
Can’t they just phone it in?
Be sure to give them an obama phone and tell them to phone in their vote.

GEEZE!

Where is a good lawyer when you need one. Is their not Federal elections laws that prevent this kind of thing without having been approved by the federal government months before the election. I feel sorry for all those people. But they really should not expect the voting system to be turned into a open door for fraud. This is like writing on a blank paper and dropping it into a salvation Army box to be delivered to the state. A liberal wet dream come true.

So typical liberal Democrat New York City voters can vote anywhere...like in Manhattan AND Queens AND Brooklyn AND the Bronx AND Jamaica plus Boca Raton and Miami.

Sorry Andy—ain't gonna help, PIAPS is still gonna be the next NY Gov.
