Where are all the lawsuits against the demonRAT-run, ACORN-infested governments/states (Ohio secretary of state, etc.) who let registration and election fraud take place?

It sounds like the ballots were not sent out on time, so they already failed once to do the right thing.

The reason to pursue this is not to win an election, but to respect our troops. The way they get dissed by the left is atrocious. Now, taking away their right to vote through fraudulent means is about the worse insult you can give a soldier.

Can I ask a stupid question? Why can’t military bases overseas have polling places on site?

People overseas come from different states and each state has different laws and ballots (each district even has different candidates).

Our men and women in the military should NEVER have their votes denied by ANY state!

Fair question. I had an answer when I served but of course years have buried it with tons of mis-information!...lol

When your life is on the line, you want your voice heard not squelched on a date technicality or because you forgot to print your name on the ballot.

In four more years nobody’s vote will count for anything anyway if the Socialist leaders of the Democrat party have their way.

Communists in power will just railroad anything that gets in their path. We are almost totally there, so don't hope for much to happen.
