>>It is too bad that the overseas military will be prevented from voting this year.
WTH are you talking about!?
Living under a rock? Gore had thousands of overseas ballots tossed out of florida over a technicality which is rarely, if ever, enforced (the ballots were supposed to be postmarked, but overseas military dont often use postmarks, they just send it for free, and they didnt know the frivelous regulations on ballots.)
There are numerous indications that the Democrats are up to foul play this year as well.
In several states, the Democrats are maneuvering to discount oversees ballots or to make them subject to challenge. Some of the current challenges to having Nader on the ballot are causing delays in printing of overseas ballots. In some states, the military ballots will not finally be mailed out so late that it will be difficult to get them back in time. In some cases, service people may make out ballots that are later ruled invalid.
All of this is intended to make it difficult for military people to vote and easy to challenge their votes. Kerry/McAuliffe will do anything to prevent those votes from counting, and, with the help of liberal judges, will likely succeed in the swing states. They intend to do what Gore tried to do last time, but now, with more experience, they will probably do a better job.
