Virginia Officials Illegally Discard Military Votes, Allow Out-of-State Votes
Posted on October 25, 2008
In Virginia’s liberal Fairfax County, officials are illegally discarding absentee ballots cast by members of the military based on a technical requirement that is preempted by federal law. Meanwhile, people who live out-of-state are being allowed to vote (some people have boasted of being registered to vote, and voting, both in Virginia and another state) in Virginia elections, contrary to state law, based on instructions from liberal state voting officials and false claims by liberal advocacy groups.
The Washington Examiner reports on October 24 that “Fairfax County elections officials are rejecting about 200 overseas ballots, many of them from members of the military, saying the voters failed to observe a minor technicality in filling out their absentee forms.” As retiring Congressman Tom Davis notes, that technicality “violates federal law” through its “disparate treatment of overseas voters.”
“The State Board of Elections last week instructed county officials to adhere to the letter of the [state] law,” even though it is preempted by contrary federal law. Officials at the State Board of elections are appointed by liberal Governor Tim Kaine.
Meanwhile, that same Board of Elections ordered Norfolk registrar Elisa J. Long to ignore state law by allowing college students not domiciled in Virginia to register and vote in Virginia elections.
The military votes in Fairfax County are being discarded by long-time Democratic operative Rokey Suleman, who became the Fairfax County registrar (a supposedly non-partisan position) after long being “active in Ohio Democratic politics.” Suleman earlier sent staffers into the Fairfax County jail to register criminals to vote.

For all their caterwauling about how GWB only won by virtue of the Supreme Court’s intervention, the Democrats seem to have no compunction about helping their cause by open cheating and law-breaking.
It all depends on whose ox is being gored, I guess. (No pun intended.)
This one ain’t over either.
Ever consider the military population of the Commonwealth of Virginia?
Here’s a hint, the Atlantic Fleet HQs here.
Local poli’s — and beaurocrats — if they wish to remain in office, will have to consider this seriously.
!
Its not just the Atlantic Fleet. The Pentagon is in Virginia.
Every one of yhem should be impeached and booted out or better vet LETS TAR AND FEATHER THE NO GOOD LOWLIFE REPTILES
Isn’t strange that the ACLU is fighting for prisoners and out of state voting in another state than residence yet, they have not picked up the cause of deployed military votes. Now the military fights to keep our rights but, ACLU appears to care less. I believe this is another organization that our taxes pay for.
This is sooo like the Democratic party! Lie, steal and cheat are all they seam to know. They have no shane, which is so apparant in this election. What a world I have to leave my children!
