MILITARY VOTE BEING SUPPRESSED?

 A 92 percent drop in absentee-ballot requests by military personnel in Virginia is raising concerns that the Pentagon is failing to carry out a federal voting law.

Compiling data from Virginia, Florida, North Carolina, Illinois, Ohio, Alaska, Colorado and Nevada, Eversole’s organization found that military families have requested 55,510 absentee ballots so far this year. That’s a sharp decline from the 166,252 sought in those states in 2008.
The dropoff is ironic, considering that Congress passed the Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment Act (MOVE) in 2009 to help highly transient military voters obtain absentee ballots wherever they are stationed.

Department of Defense, hasn’t done what they’re supposed to in helping service members vote because the POS in the White House knows full well he doesn’t have support in the ranks, judging by a recent study showing that military veterans support Romney by double digits.
