"Maybe Joe Moschella thought he was playing it safe. The 59-year-old retired transit employee had mailed his absentee ballot too late, he thought, so on Election Day 2000, he trotted down to the polls and voted in person. The only problem was that his polling place is in Staten Island, where he lives, while the absentee ballot went to Florida, where he winters."
Cracking down on people who vote twice.
That's from an article in Slate in 2004 about people registering to vote in two states. I suspect a lot of people don't know they have to remove their names from the voter rolls when they move. I didn't. But, I wasn't so friggin' stupid I would vote in two states. I don't think Joe was either. I don't even think Joe thought this up all by himself. But, I suppose it could have been an honest mistake.
"
So, his name appeared in the paper's Aug. 21 story revealing that in the 2000 election between 400 and 1,000 of these double-registrants voted in both states." Wow, an honest mistake that happened between 400 and 1,000 times. Amazing that, what?
It is the "cute" kind of stunt the party that says, "Vote early and vote often," and giggles would find amusing and productive. No wonder the Democrat [sic] Party is spending out money suing states that want honest voting.
