Military Ballots Tossed In Virginia Due To Ballot Technicality

• October 24, 2008

The chief election official, a Democrat, tossed them because the absentee ballots didn’t list an address for the witness. Information for which there isn’t even a blank on the form.

Fairfax general registrar Rokey Suleman said Thursday that he has had to reject some of the ballots because of a Virginia law passed in 2002. That law — then called Senate Bill 113, sponsored by then state Sen. Bill Bolling — requires that when an overseas citizen wants to request an absentee ballot and cast a vote with the same paperwork, it requires not only a witness signature but also the current address of the witness.
The McCain campaign said there’s not even a space for the witness to list an address. Suleman agreed; he said the federal document was changed in recent years and the space for the witness address was removed. But the Virginia law hasn’t changed.

So the Democrats who have been saying that all the phony voter registrations submitted by Obama’s former employer (who he paid $800,000 to for “get out the vote” efforts this election season) don’t really matter will be intervening on behalf of these soldiers, right?
Every vote counts, right? Even among a constituency that’s 3 – 1 against Obama, right?

I support our troops!

Barack Obama on any number of occassions… except – maybe – this one.

I notice you are spinning and lying, once again. Why is that, stupid beatch?

In every other case it’s about the rights of the voter to be heard.

But when the foots in the other show the Demo scums yank servicemen’s ballots.

This is disgusting and this should be addressed in the courts. Every vote only counts when it goes for the Dems…

wow… just wow….

The registrar, who is a partisan Democrat. Thanks for pointing that out, stupid beatch.

Ed Rendell, lead attorney for the DNC, pioneered the suppression of military absentee ballots. Tell us some more lies, puzz.

Poor poor guttermouth, I see you have gone back to your pottymouth ways. If you’d actually read the entire article that’s been posted in other place on the web today, you’d see the guy was a dem and that he brought it out.

Don’t let your potty mouth get in the way of the facts, guttermouth!

Sounds like we need a surge in Virginia. The Founding Fathers would heartily approve.

Do you have links to the 12 convictions?

It’s a good law to make fraud more difficult but the law isn’t enforced. Requiring an address – good, limits fraud. Leaving no space for address and not telling people it’s required – bad, discounts voters that are likely legitimate and trying to follow the law.

RBB, you’re sounding really petty on this issue.

Too bad that Obama can’t keep his promise to let every vote count.

…because of a Virginia law passed in 2002. That law–then called Senate Bill 113, sponsored by then state Sen. Bill Bolling (gop) — requires that when an overseas citizen wants to request an absentee ballot and cast a vote with the same paperwork, it requires not only a witness signature but also the current address of the witness.

The great men and women in uniform as well as Americans living abroad should not have their voting rights suppressed. Why did the gop pass this law?

Ever read about voter caging?
Tim Griffin?
Karl Rove?
US Attorneys being fired and replaced?

Get back to me.

Bob says,

US Attorneys being fired and replaced?

Why do you have to be such a nit picking flipping retard?

Clinton fired 93 attorneys. Bush fired 8. Now give me the liberal talking points, you flipping ftard.
Puzzlefeet

Unbelievable. You don’t even print the entire response from the Dem. registrar. Perhaps the Bush administration should have gotten the form right in the first place. I find it interesting Rob, that when the Repubs in ND didn’t get the absentee ballots correct, you were all for following the law then, but now that it is a Dem registrar, somehow he is trying to prevent soldiers from voting.

If you would have actually used the entire article, it was the registrar who brought up the issue.

You are all truly righties to the core!

I wonder what addresses of witnesses are on all the fake ACORN registrations/absentee ballots?
2Hotel9

That is correct, boob. The CAPITALIST CORPORATION named ACORN has lawyers that are quite adept at shielding it from being prosecuted for the crimes it requires it’s EMPLOYEES to commit. You know all about that, being a Democrat Party hack, just like puzz and sanni and woofie, et al.
DBdowner

The dems are whining bitches. Acorn has been convicted of over 12 counts of ELECTION fraud. This doesn’t even include their current stint of registration fraud. And the republicans are shamed for bringing this very important issue up. Meanwhile, they toss people’s votes who are putting their lives on the line for this country. I live in Washington state and watched acorn and King county magically bring 700 new votes into existence, dead people, convicts, etc. She lost the original vote, the first recount, but she won the third count after the magic box of uncounted votes appeared. This is such bullshit I am getting beyond pissed. I am starting to f***ing hate dems. Piece of shit parasites that practice nonstop hypocrisy.

This doesn’t have all of the convictions of Acorn employees. And yes, they are employees… Unfortunately, all of the webposting about acorn spams up search results. Acorn has been fined for its practices and activities. I hold them responsible because employees fraud and negligence is not an exception but the rule. Their organization breeds this corruption and it follows them EVERYWHERE!
http://sayanythingblog.com/readers/author/realitybasedbob/ realitybasedbob

yes, they are employees…

So nothing about an ACORN conviction?
DBdowner

In an attempt to drive his pathetic point home, Bob said,

So nothing about an ACORN conviction?

This question was already answered,

This doesn’t have all of the convictions of Acorn employees. And yes, they are employees…

And like I said, Acorn has been fined. It is great being able to scapegoat subordinates. I bet you just love that Bob. I am sure that is why you don’t blame Bush for all the things people he has no control over have done. I bet you don’t fault any of his POLICIES and METHODS for the current fincial crisis, etc.

Where does the buck stop, Bob? Isn’t it great when employers can hang their employees out to dry after they use them like tools?

Bob, you are a tool. Yeah, I played off of talking points. Acorn convictions and employees of Acorn convictions are two seperate things. But in your world where the little guy is never to blame, can’t you understand why I blame acorn for these people going to jail and committing crimes. Or are you too much of an ffing hypocrite to realize a large multi-million dollar organization is raping the little guy?

Please continue to pick the terms of the dialog, it suits your sophist style.

Woof, Puzz, RBB, you end up in the KoolAid swilling category when you give a pass to this kind of crap. Just because it’s evil when republicans do bad doesn’t mean it’s cute when democrats do it.

This election is getting really ugly, any overt support of McCain/Palin seen as racism and non-overt support seen as closet racism.
Harry

Democrats disenfranchising military voters? Who would have thought. Typical democrat shenanigans.
Puzzlefeet

Man, you all are mighty cranky. Maybe you all ought to take a break until after the election is over.
2Hotel9

And yet they refuse to investigate fraudulent voter registrations submitted by ACORN.
WOOFX

The usual red state supress the vote legislatiom

because of a Virginia law passed in 2002.
WOOFX

This is Republican law.

That law–then called Senate Bill 113, sponsored by then state Sen. Bill Bolling–

Republican Senator 1996-2005 the Lt Governor of Va.

Suppress the vote, the Republican way of elections.

Citizens vote R’s lose.

Puzzled, this is your idea of the guy bringing the issue up?

Suleman said he brought this issue up last month at a Pew Foundation conference on overseas voting.

Nice of him to tell the folks at the liberal Pew Foundation, but you’d think he could have, I don’t know, notified federal authorities.

As for this:

I find it interesting Rob, that when the Repubs in ND didn’t get the absentee ballots correct, you were all for following the law then, but now that it is a Dem registrar, somehow he is trying to prevent soldiers from voting.

So I’m a stinking partisan…because I said that my own state party, the NDGOP, should follow the letter of the law? And now I’m saying that a Democrat should count military votes anyway?

Do you even think before you say things, or is it pretty much just stream of consciousness for you? Because if so, it’s an interesting picture into your deluded little mind.
