do they let military people vote in washington state ? Outrage: New York State Violating MOVE Act… Only the beginning. Expect the Rats to pull every dirty trick in the book… (Fox News) – More than one week after its extended deadline, New York still hasn’t mailed out absentee ballots to all its 320,000 military servicemen and women and overseas voters, in clear violation of the MOVE Act, FoxNews.com has learned. [Obviously, the bastards who run NY state WANT to disenfranchise their servicemen and women. ] According to the 2009 MOVE Act, a state must send out its military and overseas ballots 45 days prior to elections. New York was granted a waiver to this deadline by the Department of Justice and given an additional 15 days — until October 1 — to send out all its ballots. On October 5, New York State Board of Elections co-directors informed federal officials that the state had not fully met their extended deadline, according to an e-mail posted online at FVAP.gov, the website of the Defense Department agency tasked with overseeing military voting. In an e-mail sent October 5, New York State Board of Elections co-directors Robert A. Brehm and Todd Valentine wrote: “County Boards of Elections have reported to our office that UOCAVA ballots have been transmitted to voters within their respective jurisdictions except in the City of New York, and the following counties: Erie, Niagara, Putnam and Westchester.” And, as of Oct. 9, these ballots still have not been mailed to voters in these counties, who will now have less than 25 days to receive, mark and return their ballots, federal and state officials told FoxNews.com. New York City alone has about 50,000 servicemen and women and overseas voters. “The gravity of New York’s failure cannot be overstated. With approximately 50,000 military and overseas voters in New York City alone, there is no doubt that the November elections could be altered by this failure,” said Eric Eversole, a former Justice Department voting section attorney who recently started a nonprofit organization, Military Voter Protection Project, to protect military voting rights.

Shock! Another shock: The St. Louis Post-Dispatch always endorses the Democrat, no matter what. It is a joke.

Even the liberal Seattle Times questioning Obama's 'lavish' vacations Rick Moran I did a double take when I saw this on Memeorandum this morning. The Seattle Times criticizing President Obama and the First Lady for their expensive tastes in vacations? Critics portrayed the foreign getaway as tone deaf to the economic anxiety back home. Earlier in the week, the first lady was photographed walking through the streets of the Costa del Sol region wearing a one-shouldered Jean Paul Gaultier top. Every first family takes vacations. The criticism aimed at Michelle Obama is that she chose to visit a foreign country rather than remain in the United States and support its fragile economy. Well, not quite. The criticism is that she is spending scads of taxpayer dollars just so that she can vacation in the lap of luxury. Why one of the most expensive resort cities in the world? The answer is simple; the Obama's like the idea of living high off the hog on someone else's dime. White House press secretary Robert Gibbs declined to answer questions about the vacation, saying it is a "private trip." An unspecified number of Secret Service agents and aides are staying at government expense. Edwin Donovan, a spokesman for the Secret Service, declined to say how many agents are with the first lady in Spain. An Obama administration official said the first lady is accompanied by "a handful of longtime family friends - it's moms and daughters - and it's minimal staff." One aide on the trip is the first lady's deputy chief of staff, Melissa Winter. More than any presidential couple in recent memory, the Obamas are demonstrating that they see themselves not only better than everyone, but more privileged than the rest of us. They've made it to the penthouse and are determined to enjoy their status to the fullest.
