Since there is a high rate of poor minority soldiers, I'm sure the NAACP will back this proposal...

This falls under the category of no-brainer. COunt the military votes, be they dem or right.

Absentee ballots, military or otherwise, are carried free of postage and therefore DO NOT GET POSTMARKED!
Seems to me any voting clerk who refused to count an absentee ballot on the basis that the USPS had not postmarked it should be taken before a firing squad and treated like any other insurrectionist.
It is, after all, a time of war, and harsh measures are sometimes required.

Send the ballots 2 weeks sooner. Why make the rest of the country wait? The dems will do enough to screw up the election here without having to wait longer for absentee ballots.

What's the point in letting the military vote anyway?
The Dem's will exclude their votes, just like they did in Florida 2000.
I haven't decided wether I am sarcastic or not.

Theresa M. Petrone, a Democratic member of Chicago's three-person Board of Election Commissioners, told Bush the problem could be solved if he proposed emergency legislation giving election officials up to 14 days after Election Day to collect and count ballots. Yeah, right. 14 extra days to get those chads to line up the way you want them to. Mail the ballots 14 days earlier.

Historical Note - In July 1945 the election for the House of Commons in Britain took place on July 5. The ballots from those serving in the armed forces had to be sent back to Britain, so ALL of the votes were not counted until July 26, when Churchill and the Conservatives were defeated. Evidently they placed a higher value on the right of their troops to vote than we do on ours.
