They know that most military personnel will vote for honest, good candidates who love the USA. That leaves the democrats out.

I went into a public-’ouse to get a pint o’ beer,
The publican ‘e up an’ sez, “We serve no red-coats here.”
The girls be’ind the bar they laughed an’ giggled fit to die,
I outs into the street again an’ to myself sez I:
O it’s Tommy this, an’ Tommy that, an’ “Tommy, go away”;
But it’s “Thank you, Mister Atkins”, when the band begins to play,
The band begins to play, my boys, the band begins to play,
O it’s “Thank you, Mister Atkins”, when the band begins to play.

I went into a theatre as sober as could be,
They gave a drunk civilian room, but ‘adn’t none for me;
They sent me to the gallery or round the music-’alls,
But when it comes to fightin’, Lord! they’ll shove me in the stalls!
For it’s Tommy this, an’ Tommy that, an’ “Tommy, wait outside”;
But it’s “Special train for Atkins” when the trooper’s on the tide,
The troopship’s on the tide, my boys, the troopship’s on the tide,
O it’s “Special train for Atkins” when the trooper’s on the tide.

Yes, makin’ mock o’ uniforms that guard you while you sleep
Is cheaper than them uniforms, an’ they’re starvation cheap;
An’ hustlin’ drunken soldiers when they’re goin’ large a bit
Is five times better business than paradin’ in full kit.
Then it’s Tommy this, an’ Tommy that, an’ “Tommy, ‘ow’s yer soul?”
But it’s “Thin red line of ‘eroes” when the drums begin to roll,
The drums begin to roll, my boys, the drums begin to roll,
O it’s “Thin red line of ‘eroes” when the drums begin to roll.

We aren’t no thin red ‘eroes, nor we aren’t no blackguards too,
But single men in barricks, most remarkable like you;
An’ if sometimes our conduck isn’t all your fancy paints,
Why, single men in barricks don’t grow into plaster saints;
While it’s Tommy this, an’ Tommy that, an’ “Tommy, fall be’ind”,
But it’s “Please to walk in front, sir”, when there’s trouble in the wind,
There’s trouble in the wind, my boys, there’s trouble in the wind,
O it’s “Please to walk in front, sir”, when there’s trouble in the wind.

You talk o’ better food for us, an’ schools, an’ fires, an’ all:
We’ll wait for extry rations if you treat us rational.
Don’t mess about the cook-room slops, but prove it to our face
The Widow’s Uniform is not the soldier-man’s disgrace.
For it’s Tommy this, an’ Tommy that, an’ “Chuck him out, the brute!”
But it’s “Saviour of ‘is country” when the guns begin to shoot;
An’ it’s Tommy this, an’ Tommy that, an’ anything you please;
An’ Tommy ain’t a bloomin’ fool — you bet that Tommy sees!

Not a surprise coming from a DOJ run by Holder....This is just setting up the Election Fraud coming down in November and 2012 to keep the Democrats and Obama in Power.......

Just wait and see the massive fraud and the DOJ not investigating many irregularities...

We all knew the RATS would cheat this year just like they do every election. This is just the START. How much of it will be reported by the state run lame stream media remains to be seen.

Isn’t there a way people stationed overseas can have their ballots mailed to their parents In Care Of? Their parents can get the ballots to them quicker and ‘safer’.

Not that Bush was all that much better when it came to the Saudis, but do you suppose the Muslims and Obozo's handlers feel a need to keep Obozo in office and most of our military folks might vote the "wrong way?"

"I summon my blue-eyed slaves anytime it pleases me. I command the Americans to send me their bravest soldiers to die for me. Anytime I clap my hands a stupid genie called the American ambassador appears to do my bidding. When the Americans die in my service their bodies are frozen in metal boxes by the US Embassy and American airplanes carry them away, as if they never existed. Truly, America is my favorite slave."

I guess their oil is the only POSSIBLE reason to shed American blood for these people. It begs a question: WHY THE HELL AREN’T WE USING OUR OWN?? ARE WE MAD? (Don’t answer that.)

Clinton mailed the ballots out late, too, for his reelection campaign. He called it a clerical error. After the election was over, ballots were still in bags being delivered to the Navy.
The military is overwhelmingly right wing. If there's anything they can to to deny them their vote, they will. In the 2000 election, the military votes in Florida were thrown out. They said they were improperly filled out and or late.
The democrats say every vote counts -- unless it's a vote for the other party. They claim they want democracy -- but only if the people use it to vote for them.

Recall all the shenanigans in 2000 that were aimed at diminishing the military vote.

1. The Clinton administration would not sanction voting precincts on military property. You had to leave the base to vote.

2. Recognizing that Florida would be a battleground state, approximately 800 reserves in the state were called up a.) after the deadline for requesting an absentee ballot but b.) before election day. These reserves were shipped off to other states on make-work assignments.

3. Once the re-count began, the Democrats had lawyers in every county seat reviewing the ballots. They targeted military ballots for disqualification and successfully challenged many on what were totally specious grounds. Florida was actually under a federal consent order to honor military ballots without postmarks (as is the case with many overseas ballots). The County Clerks didn't necessarily know this. The Democrat attorneys knew better, but got the ballots disqualified anyway.

The left has worked tirelessly to guarantee convicted felons and prisoners the vote. And, at the same time, they have worked tirelessly to deny the military their vote.

There is a word for this kind of activity: Despicable.

I don’t quite understand what would have happened had the waiver not been granted? Would Wisconsin have been prohibited from sending ballots to the servicemen? I understand the need for the 45-day deadline but what was the alternative to the waiver? A state sued by DOJ and servicemen denied their right to vote while the suit was pending? Does the process really require 45 days in these days of electronic voting?

No it’s no surprise. Holder and his appointed thugs broken, ignored or excused laws from the onset of the regime.

If you’re a serviceman, how would you get your ballot mailed somewhere stateside, if you tell the clerk you’ll be on leave between Sept 20 and Nov 8?

Holder is busy. The DOJ is using its resources to sue us in Arizona over SB1070.

And Hussein complains that he is being treated like a dog. Look at his cabinet and the fact he won’t rein them in, to see why his popularity is bottoming out. This is discrimination against the military, plain and simple. Holder is a real piece of work.

The state is responsible for getting the ballots to overseas military in time for them to vote and get the ballot back to be counted, the MOVE Act stipulated 45 days.

The problem is deployed troops in inaccessible areas for the most part as I understand it and they vote by paper ballot, not electronically.
