From this Op Ed piece and what is so infuriating:
"The Justice Department filed its first Motor Voter lawsuit against Rhode Island in March. The Division followed up with a lawsuit against Louisiana in July. Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Tom Perez justified the lawsuits by stating, “[t]he voting process begins with registration, and it is essential that all citizens have unfettered access to voter-registration opportunities.”
Yet, neither lawsuit attempts to protect “all” citizens. Both cases focus only on the voter services being provided at welfare and other social services offices. In other words, the Division is not trying to protect “all” citizens, but only those who depend on government entitlements -- who overwhelmingly support Democrats."
And:
"DOJ sued Rhode Island because it was concerned that only 707 applications had been received from public assistance offices. But zero applications were received from military recruitment offices in Rhode Island. Similarly, DOJ sued Louisiana, where more than 7,200 applications were received from public assistance and disability services offices. Yet the Department seems unconcerned that only 1,500 applications were received from recruitment offices."
We need your help. We need your assistance in asking the DOJ for an answer to this question:
"Why is DOJ ignoring DOD's clear violations of the law?
It is clear by their "lawsuit" actions they do not seem the least bit concerned about the lack of military votes in some states!"
Please email Rebecca Wertz and Thomas Perez. Their emails are below:
The voting section attorney responsible for military voting is Rebecca Wertz. Her direct email is rebecca.j.wertz@usdoj.gov.
Thomas Perez is the head of the entire civil rights division. His email is Thomas.Perez@usdoj.gov.
My son still has his ballot sent to our house. I overnight it to Pendleton, he overnights it back. I hand deliver it with my own. Of course this only works when he’s stateside.

A ping to my Florida friends first! We need to call all our Reps to Congress and tell them we want answers as to what they are going to do about this!
At the end of the article: “Clearly, President Obama and Assistant Attorney General Perez have a different definition of “all” than most Americans do.”
Seems with Clinton the word was “is”, and with Obama it’s “all”, and in both cases the word “balls” is missing with the Republicans.
Motor voter is crap. If someone isn’t intelligent and involved enough to get themselves down to the supervisor of elections’ office to register, they don’t deserve to vote.
This includes military members by the way.
My husband was in Iraq in 2008. Knowing McCain would need every last vote (particularly here in FL) he requested an absentee ballot. Two days before the election it arrived at my house. They had the right address but it had been sent back and the SOE had to look up his home address to send it out. So I know first hand about the problem with disenfranchisement of military voters.
I won’t post what I did with it here ;-)
This issue is one of the most infuriating, to me.
No excuse for it.
It is pure evil skullduggery at the highest levels.
BTTT.
Once again a warning to all overseas military personnel not send back their absentee ballots by friendmail, that is by the next person coming back to the states. During the Florida mess the Dems revealed that if the postmark didn’t match the address they would disqualify the ballot. The reason why is because the Dems are despicable communist who hate America and the military.
This has always been on my outrage list. THose who protect our right to vote have theirs denied? That will be our undoing. These are the kind of things that need wide exposure and FIXING this year (along with voter I.D. legislation), not next year...NOW.
I’ll send to my Senator and also Allen West. He’ll give it a voice and he’s on the Hiuse Armed Service committee.
At least I’m glad to see someone use the word franchise, with respect to voting, correctly. Disenfranchisement to me smacks too much of the same old multiple “ments” mentality. (e.g., “he commentated on this...”, “we conversated on that....., and on and on....).
BTW, for the sticklers out there, I don’t give a rats patooty if the dictionary has “disenfranchisement” as an actual word or not - they only allow it now because there are too many people out there without the wherewithall to understand the difference.
Boehner, McConnell, Cantor, Ryan, et al, and Palin better be all over this starting NOW as there will be some orchestrated stafu to ignore and delay the military ballots...that I guarantee!

"All" meaning anyone voting dimocrap including the dead, illegals, the vote early and often crowd and the usual suspects. And as usual the dims take a gigantic dump on military voters. Thanks for the ping.
