Pentagon Fails to Deliver Ballots to Troops In Time to Participate In the Election


Subject: Pentagon Fails to Deliver Ballots to Troops In Time to Participate In the Election

Some are going to bash me just for posting this... my only point is this... if they can fight for our country, and die for our country... then we should count their votes no matter who they vote for... period!!!  

PENTAGON DISFRANCHISES THOUSANDS OF DEPLOYED TROOPS WITH FAILURE TO DELIVER BALLOTS

Just one day before America's presidential election, it became evident that the Pentagon has dropped the ball and thousands of military voters will not receive ballots in time to participate in the election.
In other words -- thousands of the troops who fight to keep us free will be rewarded for their service by being disenfranchised.

I noted last month it was already apparent Pentagon red tape was making it extremely difficult for our deployed troops to register to vote in the first place. Even then, the Military Voter Protection Project (MVPP) claimed "bureaucratic inertia" within the Pentagon threatened to effectively disenfranchise thousands upon thousands of military voters.

It now appears the MVPP's fear has been realized, as thousands of military voters will not even receive ballots in time to participate in the election.

Senators John Cornyn (R-TX), Kelly Ayotte (R-NH), John McCain (R-AZ), Rob Portman (R-OH), and Marco Rubio (R-FL), sent a letter to Defense Sec. Leon Panetta to express their concern over this matter. The Senators said they are "perplexed as to why DOD [has not done] everything its power" to fix the system of delivering and receiving overseas ballots.

Among military voters, Gov. Mitt Romney leads Barack Obama by 40 points.

Not a surprise even if it does not change results.
The question is why did we ever allow the Department of Defense to control our voting, and how big of a sham did we let pass.

Who runs the Pentagon now? Oh right, some Egyptian Muslims who don't care about votes.

So they're extending the email voting for New Jersey until Friday, but they can't accommodate the troops' ballots arriving late?

Deadline for first responders and voters displaced from their primary residence because of Hurricane Sandy to transmit to the applicable county board of elections the signed waiver of secrecy along with the voted ballot by fax or email.

I would imagine that several pentagon officials will now get a medal just like they did after their part in bringing us 911.

The popular vote for President does NOT count, never has, only the Electoral vote ever counted.
The voting machines for president do NOT matter,
The military absentee votes do NOT matter either.

Wake up people and read the constitution especially about the Electoral College. Our Forefathers set up this process for choosing the office of president - Why are you mad?

The Pentagon and the Department of Defense are both private corporations, just like in the film Avatar.

Wake up people.
