Will The US Military Be Disenfranchised this November?

Will Those Fighting To Protect The Right To Vote Not Have Their Votes Counted?

A commentary by J. D. Longstreet

******************************

There is concern that Obama’s DOJ, under the leadership of Eric Holder, the US Attorney General, might not be enforcing the new Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment (MOVE) Act as vigorously as they should.

The MOVE Act, which was passed last October, is supposed to ensure that servicemen and women serving overseas have plenty of time to get in their absentee ballots. However, if the DOJ does not enforce this law by holding the states to compliance, thousands of ballots from US military personnel serving overseas, including in Iraq and Afghanistan, may not arrive back in the home state of the soldier, sailor, Airman, or Marine, in time to be counted in the November 2nd Mid-Term Election.

Eric Eversole, director of the Military Voter Protection Project, a new organization devoted to ensuring military voting rights has said: “It is an absolute shame that the section appears to be spending more time finding ways to avoid the MOVE Act, rather than finding ways to ensure that military voters will have their votes counted… ” Mr. Eversole continued: “The Voting Section seems to have forgotten that it has an obligation to enforce federal law, not to find and raise arguments for states to avoid these laws.” (SOURCE)

In Ohio, the welfare offices registered 100,000 new voters.
In Missouri, it was 200,000 new voters.

One hand has a welfare card the other a voting card.
Do I have to tell anyone the ending?

Producers are the battered wives with their bags packed, stuffed in the hallway closet, waiting for the perfect opportunity to escape.

I believe they always will be if for no other reason the way the voting system is. They rarely count absentee ballots.

Obastard and his minions are good at not enforcing laws they don’t like.

Given the history of military votes not being counted: most probably.

I wonder what the average amount of fraudelent votes they are able to manufacture? I think about 2%. Pollsters need to build in a 2% Democrat fraud factor in the polls.

I'm not in the military, but I work with them.

I mailed off my Absentee Ballot Request a few days ago.

I've voted absentee in several general elections over the past few years and I honestly don't know if any of those votes have ever been counted.

But I vote anyway.

The US military is disenfranchised in every election. Since they vote overwhelmingly Republican, the RATS don’t let them vote.

In Moonbatapolis, the barking moonbats actually believe that anyone with any military background should not participate in the political process.

Except of course bleeping traitors like Murtha (piss be upon him).

And if Conservatives come to the majority again, obamites should be made to pay for not enforcing the laws.

How quaint, eh?

At least Caesar knew to “take care of the Praetorian Guard”!
I think that this Zero might interpret that, as one of those “failed practices of the past”.

Obama loves the military, that is why he wont burden them with letting them vote. They have a lot to do and voting is just one more thing for those guys and gals to worry about. The dead can vote, because, well, they are dead and dont have anything else to do anyways.It will make them feel empowered.
