Nuke Boulder. It would be a civil rights issue if the military was mostly black.

Commies have become much too comfortable in CO. That needs to change.

Here is a link to the new law know as ;

.....MOVE ACT;

Here in Maine, some of us are working on this matter.

Even if a state gets a waiver on the front end, it must allow the 45 day time frame on the back end.

Also, the new law requires every service member to re-register every year. That’s where you start. Then absentee ballots can be requested via the internet.(Maine’s link will be up later this month I’ve been told. If your town clerk is unaware ro stuborn, call augusta.

Those freedoms you’re dying for, they don’t apply to you.

Thanks for voting Liberal Democrat. :)

And the left always b!tches about voter disenfranchisment from the right...

Don’t they know that there are servicemembers that do vote for liberals???

Geesh...Talk about cutting yourself off at the knees...

[stevie_d_64]

I actually like this idea...

Sure does put the burn to get these voting districts acts together...

The Primary election is August 10th. 45 days before the election is September 18th. Note that the ballots do not have to be delivered by September 18th, merely mailed by September 18th. Good gracious, that is 5 and 1/2 weeks after the primary.

Colorado has morons running its state government. And they have known they had to do this for years.

"Also, the new law requires every service member to re-register every year. That’s where you start."

Where do they find people to write and sponsor these bills?????

[cookcounty]

Does Maine require every citizen and resident to re-register every year, or just those in the service? I smell a 14th Amendment lawsuit (equal protection of the law).

[maine yankee]

As I understand this so far, the new FEDERAL RULE requires the re-registering.

We just started to get involved in this issue in my area of Maine.

This is my first involvement in politics (other than voting), so allot is new to me.

My town clerk isn't even aware of the new law. She believes the ballots will be out 30 days before election,that military personell have to register and request through the town in writing,and can't do it on-line.

Nice person; but very wrong.

I'll be happy to share what I learn. Send me a PM and we can swap E-mail addresses.

I am just getting totally sick of the constant disrespect the government shows for our warriors! Their votes should come first!
