NY to Screw U.S. troops abroad???
 
350K votes are you kidding me? Election results should be held back until every last soilder who wants to vote is given a chance to vote. Imagine the uproar if another group was denied their vote, say the folks in public housing?

BTW IMO this is far more serious than food-stamps for soda. lol

Much as I hate to give any credence to a dumb fucl< like you...this is a great point.


Government pigs at it again.

got to go with Dell on this one! 350K of votes is a SERIOUS total. They HAVE to fix this......troops have been denied their voting prvileges before now

They must have gotten bored with screwing everyone that lives here! Does anyone still believe any Govt., State or Federal, is competent enough to run anything?

I would say Riot does.

I finally read this story. It is not 350K, it's more like 15% of that. Still a lot.

"In all, there are 49,468 registered overseas voters in New York State, 20,172 of whom are in the military.

In the five boroughs, there are 36,446 registered overseas voters, including 6,557 who serve in the armed forces, election officials said."

So sorry Clod!

They're delayed. They have at least 13 days after the election to count them. There is no proof anyone was trying to keep them from voting. That's just not present here. It sells well, but it's not here. They should hurry up, bit is there actual proof they weren't gunna be able to vote? Wouldn't they have gotten them a week or two before the election? It's late, yes. I see little proof of the armed forces (as a whole) doing their own jobs well. It's not like they're bringing it to the house, either.

chucklestheclown 10-13-2010 11:38 PM

I wonder if anyone has ever done a survey of what percentage of people in the Armed Forces vote, and if they ever voted before they enlisted?

So what are you saying, that elections should be run by private corporations?

Nope. Just don't be too surprised when the simplest things prove too complicated for the Govt. to handle. New York is a mess.

Well they aren't out to make more n' more money for themselves or their boss.
So, it's not about competence. It's about the fact that their performance has very little chance of making themselves more (or less) money. That results in their work being very honest (in it's results,) but rather slow in coming.
