Military Ballots Tossed In Fairfax
The patchwork problem of federal and state election regulations strikes again.
Military ballots are being tossed in Fairfax Co, VA because of a “technicality.” Not a lot of them compared to the size of the electorate, but more than a few.
The registrar of voters in a Democrat. He thinks it “stinks,” but the law is the law.
I like how the original story makes sure to point out that it’s only a “small number,” a “handful of them, at most.”
I thought it was about counting every ballot.
Remember, the Republicans are trying to steal votes with electronic voting machines. Rumors of a single vote screwed up anywhere and it’s all over page one everywhere. But military ballots rejected is no big deal.
Whatever went wrong and whoever is at fault in Virginia, this is a shame. Some of our troops overseas aren’t going to get their vote counted because of some morons.
But don’t worry, says the Democratic registrar. It’s only a handful of them at most. And the press backs him up.

I wouldn’t be surprised if a few more were lost, unreadable, or otherwise accidently rendered unreadable.
Yeah,
Lex posted on this already. I called both my senators and asked them to look into this:

The technicality they are speaking of is pure BS. Just a ruse to try and get some cover after they were caught. I hope he does time in a federal prison.
But…but…every vote counts, right? That’s why it’s so important to vote, because you can really make a difference.
Isn’t that what we hear every four years, and most emphatically from the left? And now here’s a guy who’s saying “well…it doesn’t matter because it’s really only a few that won’t count”.
Classy.
What with Acorn getting caught multiple times, and more legitimate efforts to register the homeless, drug addicts, welfare professionals and other well informed citizens; it’s become more apparent elements of the left are only outraged and principled when they can point the finger at the right. When you do it……….you’re scum! When I do it, it’s only putting this country back on the right course (pun intended!).
Speaking of Fairfax County, VA………I just spent two weeks in Herndon getting some training and orientation for a new job I’m starting. I was going into a grocery store one day when one of a number of very young female volunteers tried to register me to vote. I told her I was………..in MI, and on election day, I wouldn’t be casting my ballot for any bums in either the Dems or Repubs! Man………….did I ever get a frowny face! :(
Here’s a site of the “National Defense Committee” which addresses the subject:

By-the-way AW1 Tim you said: “I hope he does time in a federal prison.”
If he does he might get a chance to vote in there thanks to our Liberal Legal beagles.
