This is a mess:
Tens of thousands of Florida voters are also registered to vote in a second state, and more than 1,600 may have cast ballots in Florida and one of two other states in recent elections, taking advantage of an absence of safeguards to prevent illegal double voting.
An Orlando Sentinel examination of voting records from Florida, Georgia and North Carolina found more than 68,000 cases in which voters with the same names and dates of birth were registered in two states. In 1,650 cases, records indicate those voters cast ballots in Florida and another state in the 2000 or 2002 elections.
They did manage to bust one double-voter, after a relative turned him in. He got 18 months' probation. Supervisors of Elections are setting new standards for lots of loose sh*t going on.
What's it going to take to keep the foxes out of the henhouse? A national voter database?
We keep better track of cars.
Seen on another blog:
They can't cheat if it's not close. Vote Bush.
If the Orlando Sentinel can figure this stuff out, isn't there some sort of Federal Agency that could investigate this? If it's being uncovered now, you just know it was happening in the past.
