Our Disenfranchised Troops Deserve Better


Veterans groups and soldiers advocates have warned about military disenfranchisement for years. M. Eric Eversole, director of the Military Voter Protection (MVP) Project and a former litigation attorney in the Voting Section of the U.S. Department of Justice, reported that "more than 17,000 military and overseas voters were disenfranchised in 2008 because their ballots arrived after the deadline and had to be rejected."

That doesn't include the thousands more whose ballots never arrived or arrived at their bases too close to the election to be returned. The total number of troops affected this year could be more than double or triple that because of the relocation of nearly 70,000 military personnel out of Iraq and Afghanistan over the past year.

More alarming, the feds acknowledged last week that a transport plane that crashed at Shindand Air Base in Afghanistan on Oct. 19 was carrying 4,700 pounds of mail — including an unknown number of absentee ballots.

Yes, that is a problem. The troops have to pay a lot for the choices the government makes. They do need to have their right to vote protected - but so does everyone else, of course.

On the other hand - if a transport goes down carrying the mail ... that is an accident and it is very hard to protect against all accidents. Unless there is an insinuation that it was NOT an accident. I don't think even Michelle Malkin would be venal enough to suggest that.
 
Ya, I was gonna ask Red to clarify if he was insinuating that the crash wasn't an accident. Doesn't make much sense to me.

I don't think he was. I suspect that Michelle was deliberately conflating the two things - but I just don't think she'd come out and make the statement. I think she's cynical and manipulative enough to tie the things in the mind of the audience, but she isn't venal enough to just make the suggestion explicitly.

You are being disingenuous if this does not bother you. What happened to chain of custody? How do we know more aren't missing? How do we know ballots weren't reviewed and cherry picked before returning? Some local races were determined by as little as 28 votes. I seem to remember you frothing at the mouth over hanging chads, but now this is A-OK?

In tight races I presume recounts will be called. Is Broward one of those close districts? Was Broward a district that was predicted to vote for Romney? Did the Broward vote go significantly against the exit polls?

Chain of custody is important for integrity but when looking for cheating you should start in the places you expected to win but surprisingly lost. Anyway, it's good to see the vote gaming discussion moving away from the pathetic voter ID discussion. The big cheating happens in the counting. Machines make the counting impossible to verify and only exit polling can show up that kind of fraud but exit polling ended under Bush 43.
