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?
Well hopefully the hurricanes have sent a bunch of them back north.
Even the ones from Canada?
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!

"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.
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.

"...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.

Yeah, but he just happened to file a lawsuit against Cheney, and he just happens to have a website to encourage New Yorkers to vote for Kerry in Florida. Gimme a break!
>>"We don't know how close this election is going to be," Caplan said. "If we get 10,000 people to switch it's worth it."
I don't understand why states allow snowbirds to register
when they are not resident there in the last 30 days
It seems it could also be a TAX scam to avoid some rustbelt state taxes?
thanks for posting this important article.
Hi, Oxen & Joe -- fyi for a Florida and beyond PING.
Good luck, jerkweed lawyer. The deadline is today. (Not that rules ever need to apply to Democrats.)
Start demanding photo ID...either a state drivers license or state ID card in order to vote and prosectuing vote fraud ...and it will drop off...
Those wanted for crimes are not going to show up to vote....and those who fear going to jail are not likely to risk getting caught just to vote..
It's no wonder Gov. Doyle (Democrat) of WI vetoed a bill that would curtail voter fraud and passed by our house and senate...
imo
