Word has gone out from the White House to delay..lose requests..and restrict absentee ballots to US service personnel serving here and overseas. Now why would O'Bomber do that? The reason is simple. Military personal detest O'Bomber, the O'Bomber administration, the O'Bomber Rules of Engagement in hot fire zones and proof that's true is that military personnel had to be ordered to show up when O'Bomber visits. Even so, most service personnel just stood there and didn't applaud anything he said.

So naturally, O'Bomber doesn't want them to vote and their absentee ballots just don't get there or don't get there in time to be returned to be counted.

We've already seen O'Bomber's idiots file suit to prevent early voting by military personnel...even though Federal law specifically authorizes early voting for service personnel when they're home on leave or for other reasons.

Impeach this shady little Chicago Marxist thug who is attempting to steal the November election...and file impeachment proceedings in the US House of Representatives today.

I can list 4 separate "High Crimes" counts/Felonies for impeachment, let alone "Misdemeanors" and not even break a sweat!

VA: Military absentee ballots going AWOL in 2012
By Kenric Ward, Virginia Watchdog

FREDERICKSBURG — A 92 percent drop in absentee-ballot requests by military personnel in Virginia is raising concerns that the Pentagon is failing to carry out a federal voting law.

With only 1,746 military voters in Virginia requesting absentee ballots so far this year — out of 126,251 service members in the state —the Military Voter Protection Project says the system has broken down.

And it’s not just in the Old Dominion. MVPP Executive Director Eric Eversole reports significant declines in absentee-ballot requests by service members across the nation.

The lawsuit, brought under the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA), was filed in federal district court in Albany , N.Y . link
In 2009, Congress enacted the MOVE Act, which made broad amendments to UOCAVA. Among those changes was a requirement that states transmit absentee ballots to voters covered under UOCAVA, by mail or electronically at the voter’s option, no later than 45 days before federal elections.

---This was top news at the time for FOXXY and subsequently American Stinker.---
the spin was Obama at the helm of voter suppression. Not just any suppression, but Military personnel suppression.

The DOJ sought to force states to comply with the law. The FEDS seek to defend voters civil rights. Some states however have used the waiver (even when they did not have to) like Wash state.

Military personnel wishing to exercise the right to vote are given the tools, methods, dates, and procedures. Personnel are very aware of how to vote. The states though have proved inefficient, big surprise there.

What is stated in the short article that you posted is a decline in requests for ballots. Not ballots themselves going AWOL.

I detect the distinct aroma of spin.

The US government is in charge of US military mail delivery. Who in the hell do you think delivers the mail in Afghanistan and other US military bases overseas..the US Postal Service?

Absentee ballots are not getting there and requests for absentee ballots are not getting through to the states from military personnel. Is that because...suddenly, military personnel don't want to vote? HUH, DUH!

The buck stops at the desk of the little Marxist thug from Chicago. Impeach his sorry ass. There's plenty of grounds to impeach him and 3 other presidents for what he's already done.

not all military want to vote against obama and it is highly unlikely he doesn't know that. i know and hear military supporters for him frequently.

But, US military personnel vote overwhelmingly for Republicans. And, demoscats move to restrict the US military vote..just as they did in 2000 when they attempted to prevent absentee ballots from getting to military personnel overseas and then delayed the ballots from getting back to the US on time...then attempted to have them declared invalid.

Which is the very reason the LAW came into being in the first place. To put an end to demoscat attempts to disenfranchise military personnel.

A spokeswoman with the Defense Department, though, stressed that total numbers will not be available until after the election. Further, Cmdr. Leslie Hull-Ryde noted that 2012 is much different than 2008, in that the 2008 cycle had contested primaries for both Democrats and Republicans. This year, only the Republicans had a contested primary -- and the Defense Department has adamantly defended its voter outreach to date.

The department claims that compared with 2004, the last time an incumbent president was running, the number of absentee ballots downloaded from the central military website is similar.


"We are in complete compliance with the law," Hull-Ryde said in a statement. "(The Federal Voting Assistance Program) strives to ensure that every absent military and overseas citizen voter has the tools and resources to receive, cast and return an absentee ballot and have it counted -- regardless of who they vote for."

However, Pam Mitchell, acting director of the Defense Department's Federal Voting Assistance Program, said at a briefing last month that voting assistance "has never been better." The program currently has more than 220 voting assistance offices.

Mitchell acknowledged another recent report from the Department of Defense inspector general's office that found the voter assistance offices were not all established "as intended." The report cited a lack of funds, and also suggested that voter assistance information could more effectively be targeted through social media and advertising.

But Mitchell explained that the department has set up an online tool to help walk servicemembers through the process, and is now using social media like Twitter and Facebook to reach the military population.

"We use email blasts starting last January to every member with a dot-mil email address to remind them how they can register to vote and that it's time to vote," Mitchell said, adding they have also set up a call center that operates five days a week and provides information on how to file an absentee ballot.

"I strongly believe that voting assistance is the best that it has ever been," Mitchell said.

how very true, you did not use the word ALL. however you used the word MILITARY PERSONAL (by which i assume you mean PERSONNEL)...

without any qualifying adjectives, thereby implying that IN GENERAL the military doesn't vote obama.

What the hell is wrong with you acoustic; can't your read. Or don't you consider a 92% decrease in absentee ballots a drop.

It is way down, and they explained that in the article.

Nothing has been done to impede military voting. It's a farce.
