Veterans fought for our right to vote – Don’t let Florida election officials take it away
Fox News.com ^ | November 11, 2018 | Gen Anthony Tata

On Sunday the American people celebrate the men and women who served or are serving our nation in our armed forces so that all citizens may enjoy life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, as our Declaration of Independence promises us.

Chief among these liberties is the right to vote, which underpins our democracy. Every soldier, sailor, airman, Marine, and Coast Guardsman who has served America oversees understands his or her role in protecting this most vital of interests.

The vote manipulation that is now happening in southeast Florida is a slap in the face to every veteran. The apparent gross incompetence, fraud and lack of transparency occurring at the hands of election officials in Broward County is unacceptable and undermines the hard-won battles American veterans have secured over the centuries.

Veterans have done their part. Election officials everywhere must do theirs. Nothing erodes the confidence members of our military more than knowing that the home front is indifferent to their sacrifice.

Attempting to manipulate the outcome of an election is the epitome of indifference.

The opening line of our Constitution states that one of the purposes of our government is to “secure the blessings of liberty.” Liberty depends upon free and fair elections so that our duly elected officials may then steer the nation in accordance with the will of the people.

One of the most important subversive of the progressivist goals is to convince normal Americans that election fraud isn’t happening, or we just have to accept the election fraud as part of the system.

Don’t fall for it.

The media and the Dems are out to prove you can’t stop them and they are more powerful than Trump.

Too late....the fix is in. The republicans knew they were dirty 18 years ago and did NOTHING.

When on active duty, I was a Florida resident (Escambia County on the panhandle) and often voted by mail-in absentee ballot when deployed or assigned to non-Florida duty stations. I had confidence then that the votes in my county were counted correctly.

Now there are criminal ‘RAT officials in the state & others stealing elections and nullifying the veteran vote which goes 75% to center-right/right leaning candidates and ballot measures.

To set the example, Broward and Palm Beach Counties election supervisors must be arrested and charged with obvious violations of law, including massive fraud.

You are right. Bush II knew about many instances of fraud across the country but he and Rove made the decision to just take Florida and then play "Nothing to see here" on the rest.

We reap the whirlwind of that boneheaded move every election. Enough already.

On this Veteran’s Day, I am NOT seeing a whole lot of either Patriotism or Nationalism in this country. Nor am I seeing anything that could be remotely taken to resemble National Pride, Character or the Rule of Law. I am seriously wondering if serving this country means anything at all.

Patriotism is no longer in vogue, young people are taught to hate this country. They have no idea of just how bad it can really get when their freedoms are taken away, or worse yet given away.

“They have no idea of just how bad it can really get when their freedoms are taken away, or worse yet given away.”

It appears that “they” will have to learn the hard way.

“Chief among these liberties is the right to vote, which underpins our democracy”

They are taking this away from American veterans and all the rest of us.

Because “progressivism” is so wonderful even when it manages to progress down a pit.

This time the blood of Christ seems to be the imminent thing to step up.
