In the midst of foreign enemy pitched firefights, IED’s and rocket barrages, the Ohio military service men and women are now being targeted by an enemy at home as well. Obama presidential campaign officials, with the apparent go ahead from the commander-in-chief is suing to eliminate the legal voting rights of Ohio military soldiers. Millions in Ohio and across the nation may regard this as an unthinkable act of unbelievable disservice to soldiers who place themselves in harm’s way daily. Of course, they would be correct.
For a calculating politician who had just visited the Buckeye State, just scant days before, one would surmise that this callous act would not have occurred. Well it has occurred and it is clear from the Obama administration’s undertaking to openly deceive and divide the voting public with deceptive attention diverting advertising ploys against Mitt Romney, their end game is to win this key battleground state.
What drives this desperate move to disarm Ohio’s military voters is possibly tied to the Wednesday Gallup Poll numbers that were released, showing Obama’s approval poll numbers stalling at 46 percent in Ohio. If these underperforming approval ratings worsen as the campaign heads into the post Memorial Day election battlefield, Obama and his administration will be decommissioned by the voters of Ohio.
Enter the Obama campaign’s clumsy effort to outflank the one area of the Ohio voter base that can unseat the president: the military vote. This is important, because in the 2008 presidential election, approximately 1.7 million votes or close to 30 percent of Ohio’s vote total were cast through absentee ballots. With the military vote making up a large chunk of the votes cast and most military votes are supposedly typically cast for the republican presidential candidate, you can do the math. Eliminate the military...

Not only is it aimed at the military, it’s attempting to change the rules 100 days before the election in a swing state; using the court system. Judge shopping anyone?
Florida, 2000. Al Gore says let’s adjust the rules after the election. Supreme court says no.
With this Supreme court, who knows?
Oh HELL no.
That steaming mess of a blog is full of viruses and trackers.
How about you just summarize the rest for us?
My comment - The internals must look really bad. They'll look even worse now.
These dolts seem to forget that military members have family members who vote too. In voiding the military votes they're going to tick off a whole bunch of family members too.
young married service member losses - up to 5 votes with spouse and all 4 parents added in, not to mention siblings.
young single service member losses - up to 2 votes with both parents added in, not to mention siblings.
That's up to at least 7 votes lost for every two service members because of this decision.
Somebody didn't think this through.
The POS Kenyan Marxist steaming pantload Mooslim c**k s***er must have finally realized the US Military is trained to kill Communists, not vote for them....
I'm in that category, as a parent.. but it fails to account for the grandparents.
I know my mom follows the kid's adventures more closely than I do.
Great point. Thanks for that.
So the tally, if all 8 grandparents are still alive, is up to at least 15 votes potentially lost for every two service members.
Yeah, this was a "Get Smart" move.
Just one of Hussein’s ploys to steal the election! If he succeeds, there won’t be any more elections, Hussein will make himself emperor for life!
Obama has rigged the rules of engagement against the U.S. military in Afghanistan, and now at home.

Just as a heads up, this story was debunked hours after it first came out.
They are suing to allow anyone to vote the 3 days before the election, not just members of the military. It makes no sense if you’re staffing a polling place already to add in the requirement of proving the voter is in the military.
The misrepresentation of this story (which has been posted here on FR a half dozen times already) is the kind of thing lefties do.
Not true. The story is legitimate and several military organizations are in court in Ohio to confront the lawsuit. see Fox News, August 4, 2012: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/08/04/obama-campaign-sues-ohio-over-early-voting-law-for-military/
You know every election we go through this and military servicemen are denied their right to vote. Why is it that Holder is so set against voter ID because he says it will denie minorities the right to v ote but he dosent’t care about the people who are actively defending our country?
I call BS.
Call away.
For instance, Glen Beck's site The Blaze shows twelve trackers blocked.
