What kind of selection was shown? I am not familiar with this so a quick summary of what is being investigated would be greatly appreciated.
I think this has more to do with this than the black panthers (but could be wrong):
EDITORIAL: Justice punts away military votes

Attorney General Holder should badger Wisconsin for full compliance
The U.S. Justice Department’s Voting Rights Section has reached an agreement with the state of Wisconsin that is too weak to adequately protect military voters stationed overseas. The department should not get away with letting other states give short shrift to the voting rights of our armed forces.
In 2008, a disturbing 38 percent - 2,125 out of 5,562 - of ballots requested by Wisconsin’s overseas military personnel were either not returned on time, returned as undeliverable or rejected for reasons such as a lack of proper witness signature. It’s possible that a soldier who went to the trouble of requesting a ballot might choose not to fill it out, but it’s unlikely. More likely is that many of those voters received their ballots so late that they figured there was no way to return them on time to be counted, and thus they didn’t bother trying.
It was to combat a nationwide problem of would-be military votes going uncast or uncounted that Congress in 2009 passed the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA), which requires states to mail absentee ballots to military personnel upon request at least 45 days in advance of the general election. UOCAVA allowed states to receive one-time waivers under restricted circumstances that include an explanation of how else the state will ensure military voting rights. However, the Defense Department rejected the Dairy State’s waiver request as providing insufficient guarantees.
