VOTE! It is your right!

Wow that is a DISGRACE!!!

Lenn

It's very sad that the people serving out county will not be to have there votes counted again, there is no acceptable excuse for this to happen again. Heads should roll.

Good luck and success.

Thank you for the re-blog Lenn. The lack of commitment is a shame, especially when each and every vote counts!

It is indeed shameful of our government! Where is the integrity?

Ridiculous that the government doesn't make it easy as possible for the military to vote.Can't say I'm very surprised.

Lenn I am a Vietnam Vet and I am also the Head Republican Moderator here in Middletown.  I mention that because I would not be in favor of extending the time for military ballots to be counted beyond election day. Extending the date would not be fair in my opinion to all other voters. However, with todays technowlogy military personal should be able to vote electronically at the base they are stationed at.

While I would disagree that anyone has a right to vote (only limitations on reasons that they can be excluded from voting in federal elections), I am right there with you on the disgrace of creating systems to disallow military personel serving overseas from voting. 

Their votes HAVE to be counted.

While it might be a right for a US citizen, unfortunately the Constitution does not say anything about foreigners NOT being allowed to vote. 

Lenn -- thank you.  This is a very timely post.  I just realized I needed to subscribe to your blog this morning thanks to Deb Garvins post. 

I also just posted a blog where I would value your input; it's a friend from school that has just been stationed in DC and is seeking a lease on a 4 bedroom home for the next 10 months.  I appreciate any input you may have:

Lynn, we know why that is happening...don't we. How much of the party in power doesn't have the support of the military. Tragic as many things are today.

Now if all they grant amnesty to all the illigals, before the election...the final nail is in the coffin.

Lenn - thanks for posting, I only have one correction to Wanda's post. Women were not given the right to vote, the ammendent states that women cannot be prohibited the right to vote. The right was already there, it was just denied in some states (not all) and localities.

Also, poorly publicized was that the lawyers for Gore, in 2000, tried to get the military vote from overseas disqualified in the election in Florida because the ballots were not postmarked correctly (but they did follow military guidelines).

Those things being said, this is just another example of the current justice department's disregard for the American people and military.

And you are right about the disenfranchisement of the military!

It would NOT be the case if they voted 80% Democrat.

And if illegals voted Republican they would be on the first train to Tierra Del Fuego...  courtesy of the Dem party.
