Thousands of ballots unlikely to reach military voters in time

[Guest AmericanWorkMule]

The military should be able to vote over the internet. Astronauts filled-out ballots orbiting Earth.

No one should be able to vote over the internet. Period.

If the DOD has dropped the ball they should be held accountable. The military can get anyone anywhere on this planet within 24 hours but cannot get ballots through?

Another disgraceful example of the incompetence of our government.

Also, check out the stories of our service men and women that have had their names wiped off the voter rolls and finding that out when they attempt to vote.

This is probably the most infuriating aspect of this whole circus.

Surprise Surprise. Im sorry you go over here and risk your life and no you cant vote to remove me.

And I agree about the internet voting thats just plain stupid.

An earlier excuse was something about an airplane crash that contained the ballots. I'm really thinking this
was contrived to suppress votes. Not blacks, but soldiers. He despises the military and I guess he wants
them out of the vote.

Absolutely pathetic. Their letting Sandy victims vote via fax machine to ensure their voice is heard but the US military is getting no option?! This not only doesn't pass the smell test it possibly the most pathetic thing I've heard so far with this election.

Obama probably couldn't get 10% of the military vote, and he knows it.

Ron Brown...

Ohhhh. That was low. I'll play nicer in my next post.

[Guest 6.8 AR]

Yeh, I remember that one, too.

And it needs to be fixed, immediately!

That will cut down on the Romney votes for sure.

I lean more towards this being a good example of an inept bureaucratic government than a conspiracy to block votes. Of course it's always hard to tell because like Obama, he is either a crazy liberal genius or an inept liberal bureaucrat.

[/quote]While completely immaterial at this point, he got Colin Powell's support. What a horses ass/turncoat that guy proved to be...thank God HE didn't run for president.

A ballot should be included with your W-2 and sent in with your Federal income tax. Change voting day to April 15th and then we will see how many incumbents remain in office.
