We are shamefully shredding Military voting rights: "t is unbelievable to me that I even have to mention such a thing as the right for our overseas military to get their votes counted in time for elections, but I do.
We saw the absurdity in the 2008 election where 17,000 votes (that we know of) of overseas military votes were not counted for the general Presidential election.� That was a shocking horror show then to most of America and thankfully to some in our congress who created a law the Move Act, requiring all states to send out ballots at least 45 days in advance to make sure overseas military had time to vote before the election. Hopefully this protective law would solve this voting problem…not.
It is unforgivable to not allow our soldiers who are facing bullets, terrorists, fear and death daily to even vote in time regardless of the state’s excuses for not sending them out on time! Here they are taking hails of bullets and sacrificing their lives to protect our rights to vote yet we can’t go out of our way to make sure they get to vote as well!"
