In the wake of the Department of Justice's New Black Panther Party scandal, a second former DOJ attorney has now come forward, blasting the department for failing to protect American soldiers' right to vote.
What's even more alarming, the attorney claims, is that despite congressional mandates passed in 2009 to ensure military personnel overseas can participate in elections, the DOJ's Voting Section is ignoring the new laws and may allow thousands of ballots to slip through the cracks uncounted in November.
M. Eric Eversole is a former litigation attorney for the Voting Section of the U.S. Department of Justice and an advocate for military voters. In an opinion piece in The Washington Times, Eversole explains how soldiers in the field may be disenfranchised in the 2010 election.
"Absentee ballots must be sent to overseas military voters at least 45 days before an election to give those voters sufficient time to receive and return their ballots," Eversole explains. "The Military Postal Service Agency goes one step further and recommends that absentee ballots be sent to war zones 60 days before anelection."
But legal complaints, news stories and studies all showed dozens of states failing to give soldiers enough time to vote in the 2008 election – resulting in tens of thousands of soldiers' mailed ballots that arrived too late to be counted, perhaps enough to swing, for example, Minnesota's closely contested election of Democrat Senator Al Franken. . . . . . . .

Editor's notes: the article referenced in this post goes on to tell the reader of some 17,000 soldiers whose votes were not recorded - one of a number examples. The Obama run DOJ has no intentions of doing anything about these claims. Understand that Obama and Comrades are afraid of the military vote. Obama is about as popular a military leader as is a pay toilet in a diarrhea ward.
G.W. Bush was one of the most popular Commander in Chiefs in memory. For that reason, Democrats worked against the military vote at every turn, during the count of the '08 election. Following that election and before Obama took office, stories were out that gave the GOP 4 times the vote count of the Democrats. There is no reason for the Dems to believe that Obama has changed that military opinion to his favor.
Point of post: Obama is hugely unpopular in the military. As a result, there are rumors that the military vote will, once again, be the object of extreme tampering come November, 2010 and 2012.
We say "once again" because of the examples in the '08 election and the Gore/Bush election. If you remember, Gore did all things possible to sequester the military vote in Florida. On the state wide recount, in counties that went to Bush, 29% of the military absentee vote was disallowed. In the counties that went to Fat Al Gore, the disallowed military vote averaged 60 percent and in one county, the military vote was cut by 77% !!!
Apparently, the Dems are hoping for a repeat performance and the Obama DOJ has no intentions of delving in the matter. See this article for confirmation. Crooks and liars is what we have in the current Democrat leadership. . . . . . . . . been that way for years.
It is off subject but we must make this point: Al Gore did not lose the 2000 election because he lost Florida. He lost the election because he could not win his home state of Tennessee. While the whiners on the Left continue to bemoan Florida, they do not want you to know that had Gore won his home state, Florida would not have been important at all.
