Since there is a high rate of poor minority soldiers, I'm sure the NAACP will back this proposal...
We should trust the Dems in Chicago and Palm Beach with 14 extra days to count votes? No way. Send the military their absentee ballots by Sept. 15 and require them to be returned by Oct. 1. No matter where they are stationed, they ought to be able to get them back home in a month...and then GOP poll officials should guard them like gold until everyone else's absentee votes are counted.
i am new here,and I really enjoy it. my husband is in the military, overseas in Korea, and he says it is very depressing becuz his chain of command is predominatly lib/ democrats.the atmosphere is very anti Bush, pro Kerry. i try to tell him that the race is very close, and not to listen to the kerry-lovers that surround him that are making the 2004 election seem hopeless for Bush. i think many overseas, isolated and with few news sources, are at risk for not voting in the election. and yes, his chain of command is all minority. does that sound racist? not meant to be...just factual.
Do I detect a hint of sarcasm? :-)
