A great memeber here and Navy veteran, MagUSNRET, made some comments that need to stand alone so more people read them, take heed, and hopefully TAKE ACTION! Without honest and open elections, with NO voter fraud, we do not have a Republic.
Her comments:
As this is the third election cycle convention thread I have been on, I am compelled to post this yet again, in hopes it gets some traction THIS time.
Active Duty Military votes are very often claimed to have arrived “too late” to be counted,or were “lost at sea”, or they are not counted unless and until they may be needed to break a tie..and that is the truth!!
Trump needs to make sure the votes of our active duty military abroad, get here in time and are counted FIRST.They are fighting to preserve OUR right to vote, so therefore their votes SHOULD ALWAYS be counted FIRST!!
I am so adamant about this, and it pains me that even a local Congressman some years back, just blew me off, when I brought this horrendous injustice to his attention. I gave my country 30 years — I dont ask much in return, but I do want my vote and the votes of my shipmates to count!!
<-—now stepping down from my soapbox
Over here, Mag !
I advised my son to vote via mail-in ballot for this very reason. On election day he will be about 1/3 through Marine basic training. I just don’t trust the system to count his vote.
Voting problems and fraud must be taken care of head on. This is very much is true to those who serve.
With modern technology and all of that, I can’t understand why this isn’t being done already?
Thank you and a hearty BRAVO ZULU for making this thread!!!!!!!!
I’m retired military and at this point in time - it doesn’t matter how you vote.
It only matters **who** counts the votes..... Absolute corruption in trying to control the levers of power (and access to the loot) are all that matters today.....
OUTFREEPINSTANDIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
God bless our Veterans, our active military all over the world and those in law enforcement protectin us daily
Mr Trump, the military vote is cheated every election cycle, this time we,and you,put our foot down. COUNT THE VOTES !
Because Democrats don't want to count the military votes, that's why, and Democrats control many of the states.
Pinging a few names from that discussion on the LIVE Convention thread.

Every election I can remember since I’ve been a member of FR (since 2002 actually) there’s been “irregularites” - ie criminal fraud - with military votes. Every singel election. And the worst thing is the Rs never do a damn thing about it.
Thx so much
BTTT
Because “they” don’t WANT to count the military votes. It’s obvious. The majority of the military are still conservative, despited 0bola’s best efforts to degrade the military.
My pleasure, whatever little I can do.
I doubt the Democrats will allow the military vote. They haven’t for sometime now in my opinion. They prefer allowing Felons and illegals over police and military!
That is the whole point. Voting has to be legitimate, without fraud, which it hasn’t been in the US for some time. If we don’t have honest elections, we don’t have a Republic any more.
I’ve read about the British voting system and it’s MUCH better than ours. NO computer, ALL paper, MUST have IDs, names checked off, etc.
In 2012 there were dozens and dozens of articles about voting fraud, obviously coordinated, in order to put 0bola over the top. It was disgusting. And worst of all was the fraud involving the military, especially overseas.
Happy to be of a little assistance when I can. :-)
Yes! I’m not military but have been so pi$$ed over this - I emailed the Trump campaign months ago to say I hope they have a plan, but wouldn’t hurt to do it again.
One expects Dems to lie, cheat, steal and worse.
But the Rs are supposed to be the ones who care about following laws, and all that good stuff. But they never made a peep in 2012.
Your son is going in at the right time...Trump will undo all the BS Obama has put to the military and more than likely your son will see a Marine Corps the way it is supposed to be...BAM’s (Bad Azz Marines)
