Have to agree if the previous statements are true. Service members serving overseas should be the first citizens, regardless of their political leanings, that should have every effort made to allow them to vote.

Sure hope postage is free for military, coming from overseas . I would hate to have to find a stamp in a war zone.

I agree, ginnyann.

Obama’s Military Voter Suppression Campaign

"Although the federal government moves with lightning speed to attack desperately needed state voter identification laws, it seems barely aware of its obligations under the Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment (MOVE) Act, which President Obama signed into law in 2009.

The law was created to help deployed soldiers, many of whom are constantly on the move, to exercise the right to vote that they fight to protect. The law requires the Pentagon to create an “installation voting assistance office,” or IVAO, for every military base close to a combat zone.

IVAOs are supposed to help military personnel navigate the labyrinth of often confusing voting rules of the nation’s 55 states and territories. But IVAOs can’t help anybody vote if they don’t exist.

A recent report by the Department of Defense’s inspector general found that in half of the 229 overseas military installations the DoD hadn’t even bothered to set up the IVAO facilities that the law mandates."

Unfortunately, hundreds, if not thousands of U.S. soldiers continue to be disenfranchised. Tell the soldier in the small village somewhere in Afghanistan that he can "print" his ballot and send it in. It's laughable. We must do better.
