"The finding is even more stunning given the pivotal role Florida played in the 2000 presidential election, when a margin there of 537 votes tipped a victory to George W. Bush."

And the investigation doesn't include other states or even the suburbs of New York.

The pro-Kerry paper said that efforts to prevent such fraud "rely mostly on the honor system." That's a serious flaw when people who have no honor are involved.

Sixty-eight percent of those registered to vote in both states are Democrats. Sixteen percent did not list a party, and only 12 percent are Republicans.

The paper determined that 400 to 1,000 New Yorkers had voted twice in at least one election, "a federal offense punishable by up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine."

A possible solution: a national voter registration system with federally assigned ID numbers. Allan Lichtman, a history professor at American University in Washington, told the paper: "I don't think the country is ready for that. It may well be that a few hundred people spilling over and voting twice may be an inevitable friction within the system."

Even if it results in a repeat of the stolen presidential election of 1960?

A reader from Plymouth Meeting, Pa., who sent us this tip wrote: "The Democrats are obviously the party of vote fraud, by a more than 5 to 1 margin. Why aren't these people being punished? The Justice Department SHOULD investigate and PROSECUTE (senior citizens or not, they belong in JAIL)!"

Still Too Stupid to Vote

Meanwhile, notorious Palm Beach County, where thousands of hard-core Democrats, including many snowbirds from or former residents of New York, claimed to be too stupid to use a Democrat-designed ballot in 2000, is at again.

And what's the problem this time? Some users of the absentee ballot are now claiming to be too inept to draw a simple line connecting two parts of an arrow.

Bring on the lawyers ...
