The New York State Board of Elections was given a waiver for complying with the Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment (MOVE) Act if they promised to get the ballots out to voters by October 1st. So, what’s today? The 8th? Those ballots still haven’t gone to voters from New York City and several other counties according to Eric Eversole, the Executive Director of the Military Voter Protection Project<\/a>. According to an email I received from Eversole;<\/p>\n

With only 25 days before the election, thousands of New York military voters now stand on the brink of having their voices silenced in the upcoming elections.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Even if New York City and the New York counties mail absentee military ballots today\u2014that is, 25 days before the election\u2014some of those ballots may not be delivered prior to the election. The Military Postal Service Agency has estimated that it may take up to 30 days for overseas service members to receive their absentee ballots, especially if they are serving on the front lines in a remote location. Under New York law, all absentee ballots must be completed and postmarked prior to the election in order to be counted.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Everyone who is surprised, raise your hand…yeah, me neither. The Justice Department should stop issuing waivers and threaten States with huge fines (plus interest) if they don’t comply. That’s what they’d do to me or you, right?<\/p>\n

They ought to make that ritard governor fly the ballots personally to Afghanistan…well, with someone else flying the plane, of course…and take that fuckstick Bloomberg with him.
