Will the military be allowed to vote this time?

[Wintw]

You do not know about the military votes not being allowed to be counted last election?

 

[pwjohn]

Commies do not believe in freedom and captitalism. PwJohn. Is something wrong with you?

Advacating the overthrow of our lawfully elected government has pinko commie written all over it.

You do not know about the military votes not being allowed to be counted last election?

I know that it's not the slightest bit true.

Let me guess, you read that on some ridiculous right-wing blog site?

 

[Wintw]

You know that the votes from the military over seas were not allowed to be counted last election, right? I mean that is a big deal if you do not know that. Seriously, right?

Every military vote was counted last election. You're lying.

Are you aware that you're lying? I mean, it's a big deal if you do not know that.

 

[Wintw]

Mocking the fact does not make it untrue.

"Military voters must feel like Bill Murray’s character in GroundhogDay. Election after election, certain state and local election officials fail to meet the deadline for sending absentee ballots. The outcome is often the same - thousands of ballots are received too close to the election to be returned or, if they are returned, the ballots arrive after the deadline to be counted. In either case, the military voter is disenfranchised."

EVERSOLE: Military votes don’t count


It is a shame

No, the fact that it didn't happen is what makes it untrue.

Take it up with the states, they're the ones in charge. But your article isn't about the 2012 general elections.

Did you count every military vote during the last election? Answer NO, so your comment is just made up BS that you can not stand behind

 

[TemplarKormac]

Will the military be allowed to vote this time? Last time Obama-nation prevented them from being able to.

Two sentences. A million orders of magnitude more bullshit.

Prove it.

Look who's back.

I don't have to "stand behind" my statement - I'll let the Department of Defense do that.

"The Military Postal Service Agency dispatched to the U.S. Postal Service all military absentee ballots,” Pentagon spokeswoman Lt. Col. Melinda F. Morgan told us via email. “We are not aware of any lost ballots at DoD [Department of Defense] overseas military locations.

The problem is chronic:

"So, why aren’t soldiers voting? In many cases they simply can’t, and they have their commander in chief, President Obama, to blame.

Hundreds of thousands of our uniformed personnel have been shut out of the process, and we can thank the Obama administration and even the Obama campaign for this tragedy. After poor turnout in 2008, Congress passed the Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment (Move) Act to ensure that all military are provided with the opportunity to vote. The act put standards in place, such as mailing absentee ballots no later than 45 days before an election and requiring installation voting assistance offices to be built at most military bases and posts.

The Pentagon has utterly failed to meet these standards.

As of September, the Department of Defense inspector general’s office found that the Obama administration had “not established all the [assistance offices] as intended by the Move Act.”

No, he doesn't. Obama is the one who campaigned for, and signed the MOVE act.

You are aware that elections are run by the States, not the Federal government. Right?

Argue with the Inspector's General Office of the DoD they seem to have a set of facts that you do not have or refuse to believe. Now it is you who are arguing in some amorphous vacuum.

 

[Timmy]

They should not be able to vote . You can't photo Id an absentee ballot!!!

What "facts" would those be, exactly?

Did the DoD IG say that Obama has control over each state's election process? Did he say that Obama vetoed the MOVE act?

When did the DoD IG say that "Obama holds this bag"?

Or did you just make that part up on your own?

 

[theDoctorisIn]

Here's the IG's report:

http://www.dodig.mil/pubs/documents/DODIG-2016-071.pdf

Let me know on what page he laid blame on Obama.

No, that's what the Washington Times said, not what the DoD said.

The MOVE act did not require the Obama administration to establish assistance offices - that responsibility falls on each branch of the military.
