Georgia Republican voted twice (in GA and FL)
prompting a statewide investigation.

Thomas Habel has two homes, a condo in Marco Island, Fla., and a house in Hartwell, Ga.

On Oct. 25, voter records show Habel voted at the Collier County Public Library, a fact he readily admits.

But Georgia records show he already had voted 25 days earlier in Hart County, Ga.

Habel said, "It's a mistake.” He says he never voted in Georgia.

But the chief registrar of Hart County, Ga., remembers him personally.

"He voted here first. I don't know what to tell you about that," says Elizabeth Forbes. She says there’s little chance a person could vote and not realize they had done so. "I would hope we don't have anybody that is in that condition,” she says.

Habel insists he doesn’t remember voting twice, records or no records.

11. I've always been completely confident that some New Hampshire "snowbird" Republicans do this.
One absentee ballot and one in-person ballot.

I'd love to have someone fund a study of voter records to catch a few of them
"red" handed.

12. No one "has to" remove self from old rolls when reregistering.
I certainly didn't when I moved to Texas. Nor did I respond when my old county emailed me about whether I still resided there. That's their problem. I don't know why my name wasn't removed there when I didn't vote there in 2004; but that's their problem.

Actually, what this demonstrates is that national elections should be NATIONAL.

Voting twice is the crime; and should be prosecuted as such.
