WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, (R-TX), a member of the Senate Judiciary and Armed Services Committees, today sent a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder urging him to proactively enforce the Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment Act and the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act to prevent further disenfranchisement of service members and their families.

In the letter, Senator Cornyn wrote, “The November 2010 elections were marred by the Justice Department’s grossly inadequate enforcement of federal laws designed to safeguard the voting rights of our military service members and their families, including the Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment Act (MOVE Act) and the Uniformed and Overseas Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA). With the 2012 election cycle quickly approaching, I write to strongly urge you to take the lessons learned in 2010 and proactively apply them in order to prevent further disenfranchisement.”

Big O can’t stand at the microphone and brag how Bin Laden was shot under his watch and not allow the overseas U.S. military to exercise their voting rights.
