Early voting data shows World War I veterans overwhelmingly support Hillary Clinton
WASHINGTON, D.C. — With over seven million votes cast so far in the U.S. presidential election, early voting data is pointing to a tight race in most key battleground states.
But there is one battleground upon which the Donald Trump campaign appears to be headed towards utter defeat: The fight for votes from World War I veterans. With at least 25,000 World War I veterans casting their votes thus far, the party affiliation breakdown of submitted ballots is suggesting a hard break towards the Clinton camp among veterans who fought in the Great War from 1914-1918, sources say.
Some 98 percent of ballots cast from the demographic have been from veterans who are registered Democrats. “This is tremendous news for the Hillary Clinton campaign and for the Democratic Party,” said Donna Brazile, interim chairperson of the Democratic National Committee. “We knew that if we could get a strong turnout among the doughboy demographic, we could win this election.”
Other Democratic Party operatives have been coordinating a strong grassroots campaign to register veterans to vote and ensure their ballots are submitted ahead of voting deadlines.
“I’ve been knocking on doors, searching public records to track people down, all sorts of things to identify vets and ensure their ballots make it to a mailbox,” said Andrew Spieles, a college student at James Madison University who is associated with Young Virginia Democrats. “I’m proud to say that I’ve personally registered sixteen World War I vets to vote in the last two weeks, and all of them have indicated their intention to vote for Hillary Clinton.”
Democratic lawmakers expressed their satisfaction with the success of the grassroots operations.
“Winning elections is not about your message as much as it is about voter turnout, so I’m proud of our efforts to get these veterans registered and their votes submitted early,” said Christina ‘Tita’ Ayala, a Connecticut state Representative elected to office on the Democratic ticket. “Vote early and vote often, I always like to say.”
Unfortunately, all World War I veterans we tried to contact declined to comment on the record.

and if they were alive they’d vote for Trump
This is great for people who know their military history!
we need to be very careful about using satire at this stage of the game. Many people won’t recognize it as such a and believe it.
Even though it’s over over there, it’s still hot and heavy here.
Rest in Peace, fellows.
Even though it’s satire, I am pretty sure if the voter rolls were checked very carefully you would find a few people who were at Belleau Wood and the Marne.
Prettys sure they voted at least twice to.
What about Civil War vets?
bkmrk
You are correct. I would love to see one of those "man in the street" interviews where they ask people: "What do you think of the fact that most of the thousands of surviving World War One veterans are voting for Hillary?"
You got my new tagline.
