RATS have a long history of blocking military votes. heads should roll.
GOP Senators “ASK”?! Pretty please?! Nothing changes from election to election. The GOP bends over to take it!
To devise ways to prevent the military from voting is a despicable act. Clinton did the same thing. Let us assume that this will happen, let us make sure they are represented this November!
OK, we’ll let them vote. We’ll just make sure the votes don’t show up until after the election.
Instead of HIDING, how about the GOP candidate
MENTION THIS EVERY DAY?
Why can’t they vote online? The majority of soldiers have access to computers.
Making sure overseas troops is one thing ,,,, counting their votes is something else . In most cases the military votes are not counted unless the race is very close . THAT SUCKS !!!
The GOP is trying to suppress Democrat votes and the Democrats are trying to suppress Republican votes.
“They say Pentagon officials are ignoring a 2009 law that ordered the military to set up a special voting-assistance office at every U.S. base around the world...”
Send in the MPs and arrest those traitors. Put them on trial.
Well,we can at least be sure that the LGBTQ-PERVERTED ones will be able to vote.
There was a first class petty officer who worked in the personnel office, sort of the office manager. He was the guy who walked me through the process of getting my absentee ballot with lots of time to spare so I could cast my vote.
One thing I remember about that was he didn't come looking for me. I asked about until I found him. When I began my inquiry I really had no idea where to start.
My son is in the military today. He has completed two Middle East tours, one other shorter trip to the Middle East and a deployment to Central America. It says right here that the US mail moves faster and more efficiently today than it did in that other lifetime when I was trying to discover how to vote absentee.
If these guys are starting today, the only way Obama or Panetta or anyone else can stop them from voting is to stop all mail transfers. I realize Democrats will, on average, get hurt by the military vote, but they can't really stop it.
What am I missing?
Reposting from another thread...
A bit of history (from Freakonomics, iirc). Jewish lawyers were traditionally squeezed out of “desirable” cases and left with things that “gentlemen lawyers” did not want to touch. They ended up doing a lot of hostile corporate takeovers, which at the time were considered to be undesirable work. With so much practice, they became very good at it.
What the Jewish lawyers learned with all this practice was how to use every possible thing they could to the advantage of their client. One of the big factors was vote counting. They learned how to challenge votes they didn’t like and get them thrown out. They learned how to make sure that “their” side was in charge of vote counting.
IMO, they have transferred this skill to politics. With Jewish voters very heavily on the Democrat side, this means that they will use every trick in the book (legal or not, ethical or not) to help their side win.
(Please note, this is not an anti-Jewish post. I am just trying to point out the facts of what has happened in the legal world and my best guess as to what is happening in politics. I think it was unjust that the Jewish lawyers were marginalized to the crappy dregs of legal work. They made the best of their situation, seized the opportunities available, and turned it to their advantage, for which I applaud them. I don’t support those over the line legally or ethically, however.)
GOP needs to run ads showing how the military vote is being obstructed by the democrats
Lost ballots, stamped in the wrong spot, didn’t pass through the proper mail bag, didn’t cross a T or dot and I, smudged check mark, past due date, blah, blah, blah. They can vote but that doesn’t mean their votes will be counted correctly. Just like ours won’t be counted correctly somewhere over in Spain under Soros’ rule.
A friend of mine who is a research librarian (compulsively looks everything up to get the facts right) and a military wife with a deployed husband, says:
She advised that members of the military should go online at fvpa.gov to request their FCPA form. Right away.
Now is the time to get this info out to your deployed friends and relatives.
