According to USA Today:-- The department sued New York after nine counties, including those in New York City, missed the deadline. Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., who wrote the overseas voter law, called on officials to extend the deadline to receive ballots by at least 10 days.
-- The department sued New Mexico after six counties missed the deadline. The lawsuit was settled after state officials agreed to count absentee and overseas ballots received by Nov. 6.
-- Hinojosa confirmed the department is investigating whether Illinois counties met the deadline after a county clerk said a pending court decision delayed the printing of ballots.
"They're right to be taking action," Susan Dzieduszycka-Suinat with the non-partisan Overseas Vote Foundation told the newspaper. "The message is that this is serious."
An analysis by Chicago's Sun-Times found no evidence of major problems in shipping ballots overseas from Illinois.
Sue? Should this not be a federal offense or at least a felony?

ANY ONE CAUGHT WITH ANY UNAUTHORIZED BALLOTS OR CONTAMINATING VOTE TOTALS ...20 YEARS...MINIMUM!! I am sick of this country being torpedoed by slime balls. The effect of this is on each and everyone of us by a few that just want to milk the system. How about lie detector test if ant irregularities appear. That ought to put a boot on some of these slime balls. Maybe a million dollar fine for every perp.

Dems have been pulling all sorts of stunts in regards to the elections. They have sent out absentee ballots to Republican voters that ask them "What is your residence in a county they do not live in." The democrat voters ballots are perfectly correct, which I find to be SO VERY convenient. Reid & Son are up to their ears in trouble and are looking for any way at all to invalidate ballots. In a book by Jackson Brown it is revealed the absentee ballots seen in Harry Reids' car years earlier in another election. I guess absentee ballot "problems" tend to follow Harry everywhere.

Such an event would certainly spell doom for the Dems and ultimately the current POTUS. Why do you think Nevada (Harry Reid), New York (Cuomo) and Illinois, New Mexico are on the list. The Dems would rather have the illegal immigrants voting instead of our actual citizens.

Don't trust the Democrats, Vote for a Republican Congress. $3-4 Trillion spent but whose life has gotten better America? Yours? Democrats want to spend Trillions more of your grandchildrens' money to enrich themselves. Stop them!

Obama's election was so corrupt it's a shame that this is the best this country can do ! Dead people will vote, dogs and cats will vote and children will vote ........ It will continue again this election and next ! Corruption !! Welcome to America !!!

October 16 2010 at 12:33 PM Report abuse Permalink +19 rate up rate down ReplyYou can't delay in counting the votes past the deadline. Otherwise, no one would get elected. The deadlines are set by law and if they are not met the election process goes on without them. The Dems know that and that is why in districts they control they send the ballots out late. The military vote is predominately republican.
