Eric Holder Answers Cornyn's Letter re: Getting Timely Ballots to Troops

Ballots often do not arrive overseas for troops to get their votes back to their precincts. The MOVE Act was passed to correct this. Seems the DOJ is letting state's opt-out of MOVE and sending timely ballots.

The only legal way to opt out is to have an "undue hardship" which is not defined in the legislation. Our troops know about hardship. I doubt the election boards in these lazy states can honestly qualify, nevertheless, as of today there are 13 states who will not meet the requirements of MOVE, with more sure to follow.

The traitor states are: Hawaii; New York; Delaware; Virgin Islands; Alaska; Washington; Maryland; Washington, D.C., Massachusetts; Wisconsin; Rhode Island and New Hampshire.... and Colorado.

I don’t think it can get much more disgusting.

Unreal. For at least the past 20 years, we having been making it easier and easier here in the states for lazy people to vote, all in the name of "getting out the vote".

Didn't do your voter registration yet? No problem, you can do it today. Don't have an ID? No problem, you can have someone vouch for you. Now we even have, don't feel like waiting in line? (heaven forbid) No problem, you can do "early voting".

But despite all this, somehow, by some weird circumstance, our troops fighting overseas miss getting their ballots on time. I wonder...I wonder why that is?? If our armed forces were by and large a liberal constituency, you KNOW we'd be hearing the hysterical shrieks from the usual suspects about "disenfranchisement".

Red Rover Red Rover we dare Eric Holder to come over...

Liberals, another group that didn’t learn the basic lessons of grade school. When picking teams for competition, like Red Rover, Dodge Ball, Baseball, Football, WAR, pick those for your team that are strong, agile, athletic, well trained and practiced and can use weapons effectively.

Also don’t antagonize or tick off the other side by cheating so they are determined to win and teach you a lesson you will never forget even after you get out of the hospital.
