Funny, but the folks who worry about “voting rights” never mention the most successful disenfranchisement campaign in the nation’s history—the systemic efforts to deny the vote to members of our military.
Look at the numbers; by some estimates, more than half of all military absentee votes are never counted. In most cases, it’s a direct result of Democratic officials deliberately delaying the distribution of absentee ballots, knowing that they won’t count by the time servicemembers receive and submit them.
The number of minority voters disenfranchised pales in comparison to military members whose votes are routinely rejected. Pardon me if I don’t get too excited about the “minority” issue when hundreds of thousands of military personnel can’t cast a vote that “counts.”
You’re absolutely right about that.
