I saw this on FoxNews today, and it wasn't posted here. It's a long, somewhat rambling article.

Caplan, a lawyer found out that in Florida there is some loophole, that if you have any mailing address in Florida, that you claim as part time residence, and say that you intend to live there at some unspecified time in the future, you can vote there.

Caplan started a website: www.operationsnowbird.com, which gives detailed instructions of how to do that.

He actually said on TV, that he wants Democrats who live in safe states for Dems, like NY & CA to register and vote in Florida, instead of in their home states.

Of course many of these people will probably vote twice, both in their own states and in Florida. But even if they only vote once, this still should be fraudulent.

Apparently his site is barely on the legal side, but that Florida law should be changed. It's probably too late to change it before the election.

"Florida Secretary of State Glenda Hood is on the warpath over a New York newspaper's claim last month that at least 46,000 New York City dwellers are registered both there and in Florida, and some have been voting in both places."

Is anyone actually removing these people from the rolls in Florida?

Perhaps God disagrees with this tactic.

One would think that it would have been more prudent to have promulgated this at the beginning of the campaign.

Ok - at the risk of sounding much more cold-blooded than I am in REAL life -- maybe it's a good thing the hurricanes went thru. Lots of snowbirds headed north or aren't going at all....??? Just a thought!

Maybe Bush should just "restation" all troops from places like Wyoming,Idaho, Texas and Utah to places like Washington, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

If they throw one or two of these grannys/grampas in jail for voting twice it would stop.

The Dems are already filing lawsuits to even keep people from having to show ID-s.

Campaigns begin mobilizing lawyers (Dems already filing lawsuits)

They fully intend to steal this election.

"and I figure my vote doesn't really count much in New York because the Democrats are going to win anyway."


Not if all of them vote in Florida.

IMO we need a public service,national add stating that 100% of registrations will be reviewed and the penalty to anyone committing fraud. In addition we need a reward for people to anonymously report anyone attempting to commit voter fraud,

In my hurricane blur--was certain this article had been posted several weeks ago. The original thread did not reflect the correct article title, nor did it receive much traffic here while hurricanes were pounding. Thanks for bringing this important topic back to our attention.

My parents live in Boca Raton (AKA New York South) and have told me that many of their neighbors who are registered in New York have discussed registering in Florida to help "defeat Bush."

New Texas Lawsuit Challenges Cheney Residency
21-Nov-00
Texas Electors

Yesterday, a Federal judge in Miami refused to hear the 12th Amendment lawsuit brought by Palm Beach attorney Lawrence Caplan, with an amicus brief by Philadelphia attorney Phil J. Berg with nearly 1,000 plaintiffs recruited by Democrats.com. The suit was rejected because the Florida judge did not want to interfere in Texas politics.

Well, I put in snowbird to search, and that article didn't come up.

There is too little attention being paid to it, anyway.

Good Evening All-

Originally posted in article shared by FairOpinion:
"...But Caplan said controversy over touch-screen voting systems, the Bush administration's failure to fund the VEA and the debacle over a list of 40,000 felons the state proposed to purge from voter rolls "kind of ticked me off..."

What is it with leftists and their bizarre attraction to violent, predatory criminals? These dirtbags in prison would just as soon slit Caplan's throat as vote for his candidate. It's the same as their insane desire to have a more "sensitive" approach to terrorism. The liberals are really nuts in the head.
