How revolting is this? The brave and courageous men and women who defend our right to vote won't be able to.....this makes me sick.

Nasty letter.....the Republicans in office are such cowards. We were warned about this weeks ago, and the R’s did nothing about it!

Yet they are letting stranded Sandy NJ voters vote by email & fax? Why can’t they do this for troops?

If Republicans are too stupid and weak to bring consequences for this illegal, treasonous behavior, it will continue year after year. The media is not going to cover it. So yelling about it does not work. Lawyers, boys. Punish responsible military personnel.

One day ahead of the election, Sens. John Cornyn (R-Texas), Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.), John McCain (R-Ariz.), Rob Portman (R-Ohio) and Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) sent a letter to Defense Secretary Leon Panetta to express their concern over delays in ballots reaching military voters overseas.

The senators asked that a new mail system be in place by the next election, in 2014.

WTF

What a bunch of RINO, losers and wusses.

What they (and every other R Senator and Rep) as well as the RNC should HAVE DONE ALREADY (knowing what they know)--rather than waiting until the 11th hour--is to have filed lawsuits (asking for expidited rulings) in EVERY state asking for an extension for any Military person serving ANYWHERE overseas or having returned within the last 60 days, of 2 months for their votes to be counted.

Gee, when I was serving in Nam (some 45 years ago) I used to get mail from upstate NY in 2 to 3 days and the same time for my letters to get to my Mom.

How is this possible that 4+ decades later, it now takes that much longer for mail to reach our Military Warriors???

They could get them there in hours if they really wanted to.

Same thing happened in 2000.

To obstruct the vote of our military who are engaged in a war to protect our freedoms should result in a trial for treason with execution by firing squad if found guilty.

I wish on some issues conservative legislators behaved like the Japanese and were willing to jump across the aisle and throw punches. It is no time for mild-mannered requests. This deserves a fight. This is outrageous.

That’s been the plan all along. Nothing new here.

Wait- Stop the election. Find a Democrat Judge. We can’t have voter Disenfranchisement. Especially be committed against the Military.

IMHO, the Military has more than the right to vote. When I worked for Lockheed, one of the managers who was very liberal make the comment that the people in the military should not be allowed to vote since it would counter the idea of total civilian control of the military. His comment wouldn’t fly in most other parts of the company but in the contract I was on, most of the managerial structure were occupied by former IBM’ers.

Well, if Chris Christie is letting voters vote by email, why can’s our armed forces?

This is an unforgivable outrage. Heads should roll.

“We are perplexed as to why DoD did not do everything in its power to modernize the system for redirecting blank ballots in order to eliminate this roadblock for military service members, per the top 2010 recommendations from MPSA,”

PERPLEXED?

They are perplexed? The estrogen is overpowering. These Republicans disgust me even more than the Democrats. Every election, over and over and over. The whole lot of them, both parties, are a bunch of criminals and thugs.

The US is a third world country with bigger houses and cars. That's the difference.

If I had the choice of pounding the snot out of a few of these clowns, it would be difficult to decide on Republicans or Democrats.
