Plenty of Democrats registered twice — in New York city and also in Florida — vote twice. What?
How to stop this? Photo IDs….
Some 46,000 New Yorkers are registered to vote in both New York city and also in Florida, a shocking finding that exposes both states to potential abuses that could alter the outcome of elections, a Daily News investigation shows.
Registering in two places is illegal in both states, but the massive snowbird scandal goes undetected because election officials don’t check rolls across state lines.
But The News found that between 400 and 1,000 registered voters have voted twice in at least one election, a federal offense punishable by up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
The News’ investigation also found:
Of the 46,000 registered in both states, 68% are Democrats, 12% are Republicans and 16% didn’t claim a party.
There’s a shock! The article continues:
Nearly 1,700 of those registered in both states requested that absentee ballots be mailed to their home in the other state, where they are also registered. But that doesn’t raise red flags with officials in either place.

Why can a newspaper discover this when the Attorney General cannot. We suppose he is the foremost expert in “No Peekie”. jaj48@aol.com
