Looks like a great opportunity for states and counties to arrest thousands of ACORN criminals.

“the GOP does NOTHING to fight for these votes.”

Maybe the GOP thinks there are too many conservative votes in the military absentee pile? That’s why the Dems do it.

There is no reason I know of for this fiasco. Votes should be tallied on site at foreign bases and the results sent back to the states electronically. Why are we still handling ballots from overseas as if we still lived in the time before radio?

The Obama re-election campaign has quietly opened a counteroffensive against Republican-backed changes to election laws that Democrats say will suppress votes for their candidates and limit their get-out-the-vote drives.

All TRUE! When only legal ballots are cast, the votes for democrat candidates does indeed go down.

They protect and support their voters

They protect and support themselves. Their voters are a means to the end, and a good portion of their voters do not actually exist....either dead, named Mickie Mouse, or voting multiple times by absentee ballot or early voting...and sometimes in multiple states.

The congress has 60 to overule executive orders...”””

I thought only the succeeding President could reverse EO’s.

Please clarify.

because the establishment doesn’t want their votes to count, obviously

Since federal election candidates are set during the summer of 2012, why not have each state send absentee ballots to the military at that time. The followup state and local ballots can be sent later.

That way there can be no delay in voting. Early voting already exists in most states, just make a federal ballot with an early voting period for overseas military.

These can be check against voter registration rolls, and flagged as already voted prior to the general election.

The problem is they don't PLAY to win, they CHEAT to win.

What I don't understand is why Republicans don't publically make this point: We do NOT suppress LEGAL voting, we DO hope to suppress VOTER FRAUD!

I genuinely wonder how many Democrats have actually, legitimately been elected in the last several decades. I know there were some...

I was in Minnesota when Franken stole that election due to ACORN tactics. People are being sent to jail for that scandal as I type.

Thank God! That's at least a START!

Could you possibly steer me toward any articles concerning election shenanigans in the Franken (s)election.
