Voting Reform of the Day
According to the New York Daily News "Some 46,000 New Yorkers are registered to vote in both the city and Florida". That means they get to vote twice if they want to and election officials do not bother to try to stop them. Why isn't Barbara Boxer crying about this? Maybe it is because 68% of these people are Democrats and only 12% are Republicans. It is unclear how many of these people vote in multiple elections, but it is clear that some do and this is a crime that goes unprosecuted.
When I was in college I lived in Texas for most of the year, but voted in California. I did not register to vote here in Texas until after I graduated and when I did register I recall the county voter registration office in California sending me a card making sure I was off their voting rolls now.
Powerline wonders why this is not a scandal and why we have more checks in place to make sure minors do not buy alcohol than we do to prevent massive voter fraud. At least buying alcohol requires a valid picture ID. Sound Politics has more as well and the Shark is doing a good job covering the rampant voter fraud that resulted in dead and non existent people electing the current governor.
