Thanks for the url. I read the article just now, and sure enough-- "The [New York] Daily News said it could not provide an exact count of how many people vote in both places, because millions of names are purged between elections. But the newspaper found that between 400 and 1,000 registered voters voted twice in at least one election, a federal offense punishable by up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine." And what's up with a newspaper being the only entity that keeps track of voters? Makes you wonder what the full-time employees of all the various election commissions do with their computers. Of course, it also makes me wonder who thought of this project and why - but that's just normal election-year paranoia. (A word to folks who might want to get into a rant about them cheatin' democrats - please reread the first sentence quoted above. Thanks.)
