Obama will do anything to win, even if it means cheating our fighting men out of their right to vote.
No surprise here. I spent 3-1/2 years of my career overseas and didn’t get local or national absentee forms in time to vote for the period.
Nonsense.
Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution gives the House - not the President - primary jurisdiction over postal matters. Congress chooses to simply abdicate this responsibility. It’s evidently too much work for them, and they don’t give a damn for our Forces afield, nor for the state of the nation.
It is true what you say, only the mail delivery system to military personnel is not controlled entirely by the USPS.
Congress went to Panetta for a reason - the USPS interconnects with the military who handle mail delieveries on base or in the field, and the deliveries can be halted or slowed by the DOD!
In my own community the election office is controlled by Democrats, so the mailing of absentee ballots can be slowed at that choke point. I don’t trust them or their damn union - SEIU.
I served in the USN between 1980 - 1986, and voted absentee in every election. Columbia County, Oregon, did a great job on getting those ballots out to the services.
Meanwhile, 1,491 US servicemen dead in Afghanistan on Obama’s watch. (2/3 of all casualties during 1/3 of our time in Afghanistan)
Thousands more with PTSD or/or maimed for life.
