They did the same crap in Florida in 2000. People were so concerned about dangling chads that they forgot that the democrats tried to disqualify a bunch of military votes that came from overseas. I remember that and thought of the hypocrisy of that. They were so concerned about the voter intend in 4 heavily democratic districts in the Miami area and at the same time they tried to strike the Military vote. This is how Obama and Axelrod roll, they try to disqualify as many of the votes that are for the opponents and also the opposing candidate. This worked well for him when he ran for state house, then state senate, he got lawyers involved and they either dug up crap on their opponents or tried to find a technicality to get them off the ballot. On the other hand, the democrats have the ability to raise the dead.....and they vote democrats.....Saints be praised..it is a modern miracle!!
"The administration showed its true appreciation for military
service when, on July 17, the Obama for America Campaign, the Democratic
National Committee and the Ohio Democratic Party filed suit in that swing state
to strike down part of the state's law governing voting by members of the
military that gives them extra time to cast their ballots. ... While Democratic
groups say the military exemption is 'arbitrary' with 'no discernible rational
basis,' military groups say federal and state law in fact recognizes the need to
give military personnel extra time to vote. Considering that Ohio voters can
cast early ballots up to 35 days before an election, the military extension
imposes no undue hardship on other voters. The National Defense Committee, a
veterans organization, notes that 'for each of the last three years, the
Department of Defense's Federal Voting Assistance Program has reported to the
President and the Congress that the number one reason for military voter
disenfranchisement is inadequate time to successfully vote.' An administration
that constantly talks about voter disenfranchisement appears unconcerned that a
study by the nonpartisan Military Voters Protection Project found that in 2008
less than 20% of 2.5 million military voters successfully voted by absentee
ballot. In 2010, participation shrank to a scandalous 5%. ... Supporters of the
suit claim the Democrats aren't really trying to suppress the military vote,
just give others the same access to polls that would be open anyway. ... The
problem is the Obama administration has shown a disregard for military voters
who, studies show, tend to vote Republican. ... Of course, this reluctance to
promote and support military voting -- while dead voters are allowed to remain
on the rolls and cast ballots, and while the right of felons to vote is
championed -- has nothing to do with the fact that John McCain won 54% of the
military vote in 2008 or that a May 2012 Gallup poll showed Mitt Romney pulling
58% to President Obama's paltry 34%." --
