The Democrats are trying to steal the 2010 Federal elections. They cannot do it with the help of ACORN, so they have to come up with some fresh ideas.
First idea, not count military ballots. Two of the biggest states, New York and Illinois, along with others are having "problems" sending ballots overseas to service men and women.
From The Springfield Pantagraph (Pantagraph?): SPRINGFIELD — State election regulators are trying to determine how many Illinois counties complied with federal voting laws regarding overseas military voting.
At the request of the U.S. Justice Department, the Illinois State Board of Elections is asking counties to report back on whether they sent out military ballots for the Nov. 2 election by Sept. 18.
At least one county, with a large portion of military ballots, acknowledges missing the deadline.
St. Clair County Clerk Bob Delaney said 1,297 overseas military ballots — many of them connected with Scott Air Force Base — didn’t get sent out until Oct. 4, primarily because he was waiting for a decision on whether the Constitution Party would be allowed on the ballot.
Under the 2009 Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment (MOVE) act, ballots are supposed to be sent 45 days before the election in order to give troops time to fill them out and return them for counting.
Delaney said it wouldn’t have made financial sense to send out two versions of the ballot if the Constitution Party had won its case.
“This is not just like sending out your grocery list,” Delaney said. “I really don’t care what the Department of Justice thinks.” (emphasis mine)
The inquiry comes as the Justice Department has cracked down on late ballots in other states, including New York and Colorado.

From Fox News: An organization fighting to ensure that all overseas members of the U.S. military have the opportunity to vote has sent a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder listing what it says are violations of the federal MOVE Act in two states and in multiple counties in five other states, FoxNews.com has learned.
The letter from the Military Voter Protection (MVP) Project calls on the Justice Department to take action against what it says may be widespread violations of the MOVE Act in Connecticut and New Mexico, and in some counties in Alabama, Arkansas, California, Indiana and Nevada.
And it suggests that a lawsuit the MVP Project filed last week against the state of Maryland could be just the first of many court actions.

Wisconsin, Hawaii and Alaska are also having problems.

Most, but not all, are blue states with close Federal elections.
So, if this plan doesn't work, they will switch to plan B and we will have Chapter 2.
