Your Moonbat Update of the Day

When last we heard from Pamela Graf she along with her boyfriend were being charged for arson for trying to burn down her house. Of course it was all a right-wing neocon Bush/Cheney/McHitler plot carried out by racist, southerners.

Well, it seems Pamela has gone missing now.

Robert J. Tavenier, Forsyth County’s director of pre-trial services, said Monday that a felony arrest warrant has been issued for Graf for tampering with an electronic monitoring device.

The ankle monitor, which Graf was required to wear as a condition of her bond on arson charges, was found on a roadside in Twiggs County, in Middle Georgia, said Tavenier.

These are the people who put Obama in office. You know, in some ways I wonder if maybe she is just angling for a cabinet level post.

However, Graf knew that prosecutors in Forsyth County were planning to request that her bond be revoked and that she be jailed, pending her arson trial, Tavenier said.

Suspects released on bond cannot violate any laws, and Graf was arrested March 24 in Forsyth County for allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs, he said.

BTW, she isn't the only one to discard an ankle bracelet and go on the lam. We also have a former deputy sheriff who was under house arrest for the murder of his wife and a "day laborer" who also has gone on the lam.

Hey, wouldn't it be great if maybe we could put ankle bracelets on those Gitmo guys when we bring them to America?

Florida Still Has 30,000 Felons on Voter Rolls

In a stunning development, felon Democrats outnumber felon Republicans.

More than 30,000 Florida felons who by law should have been stripped of their right to vote remain registered to cast ballots in this presidential battleground state, a Sun Sentinel investigation has found.

Many are faithful voters, with at least 4,900 turning out in past elections.

Another 5,600 are not likely to vote Nov. 4 — they're still in prison.

Of the felons who registered with a party, Democrats outnumber Republicans more than two to one.

Florida's elections chief, Secretary of State Kurt Browning, acknowledged his staff has failed to remove thousands of ineligible felons because of a shortage of workers and a crush of new registrations in this critical swing state.

A crush of new registrations. Hmmm. Can you say ACORN, boys and girls?

Browning said he was not surprised by the newspaper's findings. "I'm kind of shocked that the number is as low as it is," he said.

Asked how many ineligible felons may be on Florida's rolls, Browning said, "We don't know."

The Division of Elections has a backlog of more than 108,000 possible felons who have registered to vote since January 2006 that it hasn't had the time or staff to verify. Browning estimated that about 10 percent, once checked, would be ineligible.

"This is part of a big mess," said Jeff Manza, professor of sociology at New York University and author of a book on felon voting. "It's almost certain there will be challenges if the election is close enough that things hinge on this. Both parties are armed to the teeth with legal talent in all the battleground states."

Hard to believe this can happen in the land of the hanging chad, isn't it?

Florida registers voters largely on an honor system, asking applicants to affirm on a signed form that they are not convicted felons or that their rights have been restored. State law requires the Elections Division to conduct criminal records checks only after voters are added to the rolls, and it takes months or even years to remove those who are ineligible, the Sun Sentinel found.

"It's scandalous, really," said Lance deHaven-Smith, professor of public policy at Florida State University. "Why do they have to cull the rolls after they get registered? They shouldn't get on the rolls in the first place."

No kidding.

Actually, it's not scandalous. It's completely insane.
