MAKE SURE YOU ARE READY TO VOTE!

This election season is very important to all of our citizens. Voting by the principles of the Tea Party will make a big difference in the primary elections on August 24, as well as in November. Below are some key deadlines.

Register for primary election…..July 26.
Absentee ballot request…August 18.
Primary election…August 24.

Register for general election…October 4.
Absentee ballot request…October 27.
General election…November 2.

*IMPORTANT*  If you are in need of an absentee ballot please TAKE NOTE! If it has been some years since you registered your signature with the Supervisor of Elections your current signature may not match what is on file. Each signature is cross checked to determine the validity of the absentee ballot; if it is determined that the two signatures do not match then your vote is discarded-it will NOT COUNT. If you think your signature may have changed its appearance from what the Supervisor has on file please visit the Superintendent’s office to update your signature. This will ensure that your vote counts!

America has always strived to protect our electoral process and the citizens have faced many obstacles to ensure that our elections are honest and held without fear.  We are again being threatened by factions that would take away our right to vote freely so we must be steadfast in our resolve to continue our tradition of free elections.

Residents get 6 votes each in suburban NY election

Residents get 6 votes each in suburban NY election

By JIM FITZGERALD, Associated Press Writer Jim Fitzgerald, Associated Press Writer – Tue Jun 15, 4:08 pm ET

PORT CHESTER, N.Y. – Arthur Furano voted early — five days before Election Day. And he voted often, flipping the lever six times for his favorite candidate. Furano cast multiple votes on the instructions of a federal judge and the U.S. Department of Justice as part of a new election system crafted to help boost Hispanic representation.

Voters in Port Chester, 25 miles northeast of New York City, are electing village trustees for the first time since the federal government alleged in 2006 that the existing election system was unfair. The election ends Tuesday and results are expected late Tuesday.

Although the village of about 30,000 residents is nearly half Hispanic, no Latino had ever been elected to any of the six trustee seats, which until now were chosen in a conventional at-large election. Most voters were white, and white candidates always won.

Federal Judge Stephen Robinson said that violated the Voting Rights Act, and he approved a remedy suggested by village officials: a system called cumulative voting, in which residents get six votes each to apportion as they wish among the candidates. He rejected a government proposal to break the village into six districts, including one that took in heavily Hispanic areas.

Universal Voter Registration

Universal voter registration is legislation the Democrats are crafting now.  The essence of it is that they want to register every person in America to vote from government databases, rather than leave it as the responsibility of each American to register to vote.  What makes this so scary is that it opens the door to serious voter fraud, such as non-citizens or felons voting, or duplicates on the list.  How will we prove all of these ‘new voters’ went to the polls and actually voted, rather than a vote being cast for them behind closed doors.  Here are a couple blog articles for you to read on this issue and why some believe this legislation is so dangerous:
