Adding insult to injury over U.N. "observers" allowed to monitor U.S. elections and massive voter fraud uncovered in many battleground states, many members of the military in Florida have been purged from the voter roles because, while they were all over the world defending YOUR right to vote, they weren't home to vote in the past couple of elections PLUS many of them were denied access to absentee ballots, so the Florida law that requires "participation in the process" of voting REQUIRED that their names be PURGED. The law was intended to purge dead people, fellons, and those who have moved, but it made NO provision for military out of the state for constant extended deployments.

Floridians, contact your state legislature and fix this travesty.

Others, make sure YOUR state doesn't have similar OUTRAGEOUS laws.

Active service members upset over removal from voting rolls

Quote:
TAMPA BAY, Florida - Local service members who have spent years serving the country are discovering this fall that they aren't allowed to vote in the presidential election.

Valrico resident and Navy Captain Peter Kehrig, who has been abroad for five years tells 10 News he feels cheated by a system that removed him from the rolls.

Florida State Law requires county supervisor of elections offices to perform regular "maintenance" on its voter rolls to eliminate voters who have been convicted of felonies, moved out of the county, or may have died.

Voters who miss two consecutive general elections (2010 and 2008, for instance) are mailed a letter to their residence warning them they will be removed from the rolls. But since the post office only forwards mail for six months, Kehrig never got it.

Seems to me that there should be a federal law, protecting the right of the active military to vote that would supersede state and local laws. Of course when you are saddled with a Congress such as the one we now have, that is probably too much to expect.

As long as were are about it, we might as well throw in a dereliction of duty clause for any and all that fail to get the proper ballots to the military in a timely fashion, so that they can exercise their right. A clause with mandatory punishment sounds right to me. For those with that responsibility, do the job that you are paid to do, or pay the penalty! No more passing the buck and lame excuses.

What is outrageous with this is that many of these same county election supervisors, the ACLU, the Obama Department of Justice and the Democrat Party in Florida heavily opposed, fought against tooth and nail, sued in court and refused to comply with earlier efforts to purge the voting roles of non-citizens.

And now, silence!

I wonder how selective the purging was? Confused

Not to worry, the NAACP took over a voting location in Houston and took control, moving Obama voters to the front of the line and essentially violating every voting law on the books. Poll watchers were told to butt out.

WHERE WERE THE U.N. OBSERVERS?

The UN busybodies were probably voting for Obama, from the front of the line, of course.

More "honesty in gubment":

Team Obama is giving away free pizza INSIDE Miami Dade County early voting location wearing Obama buttons.

North Carolina Democrat Jim Turner says he voted four times for Barack Obama already. He’s determined to vote a fifth time for Obama on election day.
