Romney needs to remind people that the military won’t work on “my behalf” but for the country. BO said the military works on his behalf- so arrogant.
Have you seen the “acting” director of the voting assistance office in the Pentagon?

2. No
I read here about a week ago, that the government was making voting machines hard to get to, if one is in the military.
Military votes should be couriered by SEAL force protection teams to to the Secretary of State for each state, and the vote validation and count observed.
