I thought his thoughts were articulate, frankly he brings up an issue that we must address sooner, rather than later.
In the end, everyone must agree our troops vote MUST and WILL count.

He makes some good points, but the root cause of the Washington fiasco was:
- Over 700 suddenly discovered ballots in King County which were allowed to taint the entire statewide results. If anyone believes all or even most of these ballots were legitimate, please freepmail me. I'll give you a great deal on owning the Brooklyn Bridge.
- More than 3,500 more voters in the statewide total than actually signed in to cast ballots. Again, from King County after the results of an initial count and two recounts all showing the Republican candidate won.
What I can't figure out is why a Republican Secretary of State would certify such obviously tainted results. Any explanations?

The 'rat party machine of King County just stole an election. They urinated on our troops and engaged in massive fraud to elect a corrupt shyster. The Republicans are too, too nice.

When I was in the desert, I received the absentee ballots for everyone from my city, rubber-banded together. There were about 45 of them for soldiers stationed from Kuwait to Mosul. We got them re-sent, but there was no way in heck that the ballots would make it to the soldiers in time to be returned and counted.
As for a chance to vote for the recall of ex-Gov. Davis, I never received the ballots to vote.

We the people seem to understand this-- the mere politicians
who benefit most from the power our military forces afford
seem to ignore the military vote -perhaps because the majority of our military who do vote so often vote with the
conservative, and the moral, two attitudes the left seems to wish would wither and die if ignored long enough.

I truly surprised that this article failed to mention that a soldier who does not receive his/her local ballot is guaranteed under federal law the ability to vote using the write-in ballot, which is available both in paper and on-line versions. The Pentagon made a very big deal about its availabity.
The situation is *much* better than it used to be.

================================================
This margin could easily have been accounted for by overseas military personnel who tried to vote, but whose ballots were not counted.

Regarding overseas military votes, why can't we just make the bases in Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. polling places themselves? And then send back the results by fax or whatever.
