In a move that puts new meaning to the term battleground, President Obama's re-election campaign and members of some military groups are on a collision course over voting rights in the critical state of Ohio. The Obama campaign and the Democratic National Committee have filed a lawsuit to block a new state law allowing men and women in uniform to vote up until the Monday right before an election, while the cutoff on early voting for the rest of the public is three days earlier. How many of you have a problem with giving our enlisted military 3 extra days to vote? for what reason? I Mean, there are many people who do incredible service for americans in and out of the service,,, is there an actual REASON they might 'need' special circumstances? and why so close to THIS election? For what reason? Maybe because unlike a real job you can't say no to the military. You can't quit or risk facing jail time. Basically in a nutshell you are far more likely to not be able to have time to vote in the military than a normal job. I personally don't see a problem with it. this is the 'problem' denying tens of thousands of Ohio voters the right to cast their votesin the three days prior to Election Day – a critical right that was granted to all qualified Ohiovoters in 2005, used by an estimated 93,000 Ohio voters in the 2008 presidential election, andinequitably taken away from most, but not all, Ohio voters without justification in the last year I realize and understand the REVERENCE for military, but thats a smokescreen issue to overlook VOTERS in general who are being DENIED, suddenly, the voting right they had the previous SEVEN years running,,,,, the military is not the only job that GIVES< rather they arent allowed to quit or not is not the issue as long as they are working many people are working and will be affected if they have to vote on the weekday military already can cast votes absentee votes, there isnt really a justification for a special 'in person' allowance in lieu of other voters in person early votes,,, |
