Absentee ballot fraud uncovered in New York, Florida

Fox News:

A national voter fraud watchdog group announced Tuesday that it has uncovered at least 31 cases of absentee ballot fraud in New York and Florida -- a finding the group claims is "just the tip of the iceberg."

True the Vote, a group that focuses on voter fraud, said it turned over 31 cases to state and federal election authorities in which individuals cast their votes in two states in the same federal election -- which is a felony.

Logan Churchwell, a spokesman for the group, told FoxNews.com that the organization accessed Florida's complete voter registration roll and cross-referenced it against 10 percent of New York's list. It identified more than 1,700 people with voter registrations in both states. Of that number, 31 people allegedly voted in both states during the same federal election cycle.

Both Florida and New York require voters to cast ballots that correspond with their permanent home addresses. Under federal law, voters are prohibited from casting more than one ballot in the same election.

"This is further evidence of just how susceptible our election system is to voter fraud," the group's president, Catherine Engelbrecht, said in a statement.

Catherine Engelbrecht's dedication to voter integrity should be applauded.  I think Voter ID would make this kind of fraud more difficult.  I suspect that New York is not the only North Eastern state where this is happening. Florida attracts a lot of people from the region.  I also would not be surprised if Nevada has a similar problem.  Both Nevada and Florida get a lot of seasonal home owners and they are states where Democrats are seeking to get an advantage,
