Hey Florida, is this ok with you?

UPDATE at the end of the post…

There are many stories of voter fraud this election and I have reported at least one major one in Ohio. The situation here may violate the spirit of those laws. I do not know how Florida officials will view this but I hope to find out tomorrow. This is from Obamatravel.org. I wonder how long this page will stay up.

And here is Ms. Appleton holding her ballot:

voteappleton

To summarize, Ms. Appleton has been FL for 6 weeks, says she voted in FL, but plans to return “home” to NY a day or so after the election. According to this link and this one, Ms. Appleton’s residency is open to question. If I am missing something and this is legal, I do not think it should be. At least as long as we have an electoral system of electing a president, it seems fundamentally contrary to that system for people to leave “safe states” for a candidate (in this New York) and go to a battleground state to cast a ballot. It seems as though campaigns would spend their resources moving people from safe states to contested states. Maybe that is the point of this Obamatravel.org thing…

UPDATE: Earlier today, I spoke with Owen Torres, spokesperson for Miami-Dade County, and he clarified that one must register 29 days before an election which Ms. Appleton did in Miami-Dade County. He stressed that she would be allowed to vote in FL if she is registered which one may do whenever one moves to the state of FL. However, he said, she should not be registered in more than one state (which she is according to the Westchester County, NY BOE), but this is not illegal in itself. It would be illegal to vote in two places. What is problematic is Ms. Appleton’s expressed intention to leave FL to return “home” to NY as soon as the election is over. According to Mr. Torres, FL anticipates that the person who registers is doing so because they have become a resident of the state and intends to remain in the state. With the election happening tomorrow, I am not sure if I will hear the outcome of this particular situation soon. However, Mr. Torres indicated that he would pursue the matter.

UPDATE #2 - Commenter Tom pointed out that Ms. Appleton’s profile on Obamatravel.org has been removed.

UPDATE #3 - Palestra.net’s Tiffany Wilson made contact with Ms. Appleton but she declined to speak to Ms. Wilson. And Ms. Wilson notes this about FL election law:

101.045 Electors must be registered in precinct; provisions for change of residence or name. —

Chapter 101 VOTING METHODS AND PROCEDURE

Title IX ELECTORS AND ELECTIONS

SUCH PERSONS WHO ARE REGISTERED in the precinct in which the main office of the supervisor, as designated by the supervisor, is located and who are residing outside the county WITH NO PERMANENT ADDRESS IN THE COUNTY SHALL NOT BE REGISTERED ELECTORS OF A MUNICIPALITY AND THEREFORE SHALL NOT BE PERMITTED TO VOTE IN ANY MUNICIPAL ELECTION.

UPDATE: #4 - Ms. Appleton returned home to NY after the election.

Stay tuned…

    I think she deleted her post because she might be the same Juliette Appleton who resides in Mount Kisco NY who is a certified Hypnotist. She must have been using her mind powers in FL..LOL

    Warren

    On a completely unrelated note (except I’m excited about the twin study) a major breakthrough was just released.

    First concrete evidence that the immune system can alter behavior in mice

    In the first study ever to genetically link the immune system to normal behavior, scientists at Rockefeller and Columbia universities show that mast cells, known as the pharmacologic bombshells of the immune system, directly influence how mice respond to stressful situations. The work, to appear this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and to be highlighted in Science, chips away at the increasingly stale idea that the two most complex systems in the body have entirely separate modes of operation.

    I don’t think SSA is a response to stress but this shows that the bodies immune system can alter the way the brain works.

    “mind powers in FL”

    LOL :)

  4. concerned says:

    Drowwsap,
    I very much disagree with your idea that stress is not involved in SSA. At least in the development of addictive compulsive behaviours associated with it.

  5. jayhuck says:

    Oh good grief Concerned - addictive compulsive behaviors are no more associated with gay people than they are with straight people.

    I also don’t think that that is what Drowssap, or the study, was saying.

    TBT - I’m not saying voter fraud has or hasn’t been perpetrated. I don’t know - I’m waiting to hear about this from a reputable and balanced source. That’s all! I’m sure we will hear about all sorts of voter fraud and intimidation from both sides enough tomorrow to hold all of us over for four more years ”

    What sources are “good” for you? It is amazing how the lib mind works. You got evidence but you look at the messenger. The same with the Joe the plumber or Jose el mechanico, it doesn’t matter what the issue is, you always try to discredit the source first. Isn’t that right? In case you are wondering what source to trust, I againg ask you to read this and give a comment:

    Campaign managers care to the smallest detail on what color of tie to wear, how to do “body language”,etc. They are concern to the smallest detail, however, how in the world a guy with Hussein and Obama for a name can even be noticed? Do you think if media hasn’t do their “work” this guy ever had a chance to be ever nominated?. They count on the short memory of the masses, and their stupidity. Unfortunatelly, people are smart, but masses are stupid.

    FAC -

    For the record, I’m not a liberal! I’m also a registered Republican.

    The Republican Voter Fraud Hoax:

    Click here to read the article

    ” According to the website FactCheck.org, a few ACORN canvassers have faked registration forms, leading to registration fraud — not voter fraud. They also apparently created false registrants to earn extra money from ACORN, not to stuff ballot boxes with false Democratic votes.”

    OR

    How about the article on “Republican Voter Registration Chief Arrested for Fraud in California”?

    Its pretty amazing how the conservative mind works sometimes! LOL :) See you at the polls!

  11. jayhuck says:

    If Obama is good enough for:

    - Colin Powell
    - Andrew Sullivan, a Conservative columnist/blogger
    - The Economist magazine

    He should be good enough for just about any conservative worth his salt :)

    “The Republican Voter Fraud Hoax:”

    Are you serious? C’mon, you are posting as a fact a blog from some guy in the UK. Did you check the credentials of this guy I post a link to?
    http://www.heritage.org/research/legalissues/upload/sr_24a.pdf
    “About the Author

    Counsel to the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Justice, where he specialized in
    voting and election issues. He also served as a county election official in Georgia for five years as a member of the
    Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections.
    ©”
    Do you think this guy has no information on what he is talking about? or Are you going to research some dark history about his great-uncle cousing friend in order to shift the attention from the issue?
    Can you post a link to that California guy? If that is true, he deserves to be in jail., however, that seems to be an exception. On the other hand ACORN et al /Obama and Co. look like an pandemic to me. ACORN is a national movement as well as moveon.org. I don’t recall any nationwide organization doing that dirty work for the republicans. Can you name them? I wonder how many of ACORN members will ever be bother with the issue if Obama is elected.
    Yep, see you at the polls .But, that doesn’t make it right even if your guy wins.

    “For the record, I’m not a liberal! I’m also a registered Republican”
    Your party registration means nothing what really means is you inside the voting boot.
    “If Obama is good enough for:

    - Colin Powell
    - Andrew Sullivan, a Conservative columnist/blogger
    - The Economist magazine

    He should be good enough for just about any conservative worth his salt ”

    He certainlly is not good enough for Joe Lieberman. You know your former VP candidate, and ex-Democrat senator.
    I’ll help you just a little bit, you forgot to mention your guy is good enough for The New York Times, The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune ,St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the Detroit Free Press,etc, etc, etc. What can you said when Alaska main newspaper support him? Yes, you are 100% right, he has a lot of support. I’ll bet anything that he also has support from: Tehran Times Daily, Pravda, and cuban daily Gramma.
    Can you imagine just after Pearl Harbor a guy named Suzuki running for president of the US. I don’t think so. That shows you how powerful our main LEFT MEDIA is. It doesn’t mean you side is right. The media bet on your guy. Do you know nobody is even allow to use his middle name anymore. (Low whisper) You know ……H. :)

    Hey Frank, the 60’s are not over, this are the new 60’s. If you look close you will notice a flower in her ear, a peace and love sign in her dress and a Woodstock concret in the background.
    Same scenary, an ongoing war, a movement to withdraw no matter what, the only thing missing in the picture is Jane fonda wearing a suicidal bomb belt.:(

  16. lolabull says:

    Well, maybe we can all take notes on how to completely jack the vote next time around. The repubs will have to learn these “ghetto-style” tactics in order to win in 2012.

  17. Michaelene says:

    Lynn David, get a life!
    Stop trying to argue that fraud is ok, the source is not the “wright” one, and leave me out of your posts.
    I am not voting for Obama because he is very comfortable with Nefarious characters like Wright, Pfledger, Khalidi, Ayers, Dohrn, Odigna et al.
    I am not voting Party before Principle!!

    I am not voting against my own best interests, I am actually voting for my own good interests as an educated, middle class, suburbanite. Unlike other elections where I voted for the good of my heart, to help those who can’t help themselves.
    But now that I will have to pay higher taxes and my children will be forced to volunteer to promote socialism, I must vote against Obama.

    Many of us believe that the election was stolen from Hillary. Did you know about the Rules and Bylaws committee meeting in Michigan where they gave 4 HRC delegates to a person that was not even on the ballot?
    HMMM?

    I will never again help any dem who supports that type of democracy. Goodbye Dems, I AM PUMA!

  18. PMCC says:

    The woman’s a con artist. She’s proven it. She probably has plenty of money.

    The Dems sanctioned this fraud by allowing BO to win the nomination.

    Respect for law is out the window.

    Get ready for our country to experience hell.

  19. Thomas says:

    This is a perfect example of why states should not tie their electoral votes to the popular vote. The highest office we should be allowed to vote for should be Representative.

  20. [...] felons registered to vote in Minnesota (illegal). Milwaukee Police vote fraud unit disbanded. Obama operative votes in Florida and New York. (Palestra is all over this). Civil War II begins as Black Panthers intimidate voters. Voting [...]

    Lynn,

    I hate to say this, but do you really expect anything besides mudslinging here? The entire McCain campaign has been riddled with negativity, half-truths and the like. Vote for change

    ———————————————————-
    Change? Oh yeah, Obama keep changing his statements and promises. That’s the change he keep talking about. Hope you got it now!!

  22. Dave says:

    The nutty left wing thinks that the only reason Democrats aren’t elected with 80% majorities, it’s because of GOP voter suppression! lol

    They don’t care about facts, they care about emotion. They believe it, it must be right, everyone else is lying! And anything against the GOP is allowed because the GOP is evil, lol

    Palin/McCain ‘08!

  23. Plumb Bob says:

    In a remarkably characteristic display of liberal inconsistency, jayhuck fills the page with mindless denunciations of a slam-dunk story because its source was a partisan he happens to dislike — and immediately follows it with a discussion calling the concern about voter fraud a “hoax” from the Guardian, a partisan, British socialist paper that’s even farther to the left than Michelle Malkin is to the right.

    No surprise, though, coming from the same fellow who can’t understand why he actually has an obligation to refute the claims in the article, rather than simply hur slander at the author.

    The source, by the way was actually palestra.net, a student news service that has been doing stunningly good work on the voter fraud issue.

  24. john sarah says:

    Get real. Learn this time fear and hate did not win. Instead HOPE WON.

  25. Mary says:

    How about the idea, that none of knows really what is going on and that people have been using the media (of all kinds) to manipulate our thinking.

    That people like Colin Powell have a personal interest in seeing Obama in office, that others have a personal interest in seeing McCain in office and those interests are not liberal, conservative, or whatever - but personal and that is it. Being swayed by another person’s personal interest and not evaluating your own interests and doing the research for yourself on voting records, attendance at social affairs, etc… (and I’m not talking about gossip) is just plain …… (put in your own word here - any pejorative sense will do)

    I continue to be surprised that commoners still believe what they read/hear in the news as truth.

  26. Warren says:

    @john sarah:

    Hope in what? Hope who? Who is the Hope you speak of?

  27. JOHN SARAH says:

    THE HOPE THAT YOU WILL CRAWL RIGHT BACK UNDER THE HATE ROCK.

  28. Warren says:

    @JOHN SARAH:

    I collect rocks, but I cannot find the hate one in my collection.

    I do have a confused rock though, and it asks what part of this post on Ms. Appleton’s voting practices get you so upset.
