Republicans Involved In More Absentee Ballot Applications - CNN

[ride525]

CNN reports this today:

<< ? In Martin County, Florida, election supervisor Peggy Robbins acknowledged Tuesday she gave permission for a Republican Party official to remove &quot;several hundred&quot; incomplete absentee ballot applications from her office. The official then returned them filled out with corrected voter identification numbers and other information, said Robbins, a Republican. Florida law states that only the voter, an immediate family member or legal guardian may fill out an absentee ballot application. >>



It's been reported that the 4,700 that were marked by Republicans in Seminole County would have been thrown out otherwise.

this is getting way out of hand all of these allegations of course I don't know the validity of them but it is truly getting on my nerves

From Jay Leno the other night:

&quot;Well, the Canadians had thier election yesterday... now Al Gore is claiming he won that one too!&quot;

 

[fdiskboy]

That's a good one, Optimus.

No, that's the Clinton News Network.

Back to these ballots. I thought the democrats wanted every vote counted? Isn't the voter intent extremely clear in this case? They aren't counting dimples or taping chads into the Bush hole as the case for some 80 absentee ballots found. (Hmm..., but they had the Gore chad punched out to make it look like a vote for Gore. How did that happen?)

<< I thought the democrats wanted every vote counted? Isn't the voter intent extremely clear in this case? >>

That's why Gore hasn't become involved in the case in Seminole county.

From NBC:

<< According to the lawsuit, Goard?s staffers set aside the applications missing voter IDs so they could destroyed later. But sometime in October, a GOP official called and asked if someone could come in and add the voter IDs to the applications. >>

Who cares, the democrats gave cigarettes to homeless voters. Dems/repub's are all &quot;crooked&quot;!!

How about a little perspective...

The application in question was a post card with all the information for the voters filled in by the party before hand ( both Dems &amp; reps did this ) in some counties the voter ID was left off the card when they were printed by the parties, by mistake. All the voter had to do was sign the card &amp; send it in to get an AB ballot.

The parties have a copy of the voter rolls with the ID # included.

I listened to 3 county election supervisors yesterday, from 3 different counties... 2 dems &amp; 1 rep...

They all 3 said that their offices put the voter ID # on AB ballot applications this year if it was left off by the voter.... even tho it is 'illegal'.

My take is that this practice was widespread &amp; was done in many, many counties across the state. One of the counties was Pinellas with 45,000 AB ballots this year. It also went for Gore.

Is this fraud ???? it is OK to print the voter ID# on the card before it is mailed out ( 100 % legal ) but not to add it later because it was left off by mistake ????

 

[ride525]

I don't know about it being fraud.....The question is whether it is legal.

It just gets more and more interesting....

another funny quirk is that the democrat judge who started on the case in Seminole county did this exact same thing in the democrat primary.

She was re-elected BTW.
