Original Message The talking heads in Washington preach and preach how we have to make sure every vote is counted and use BS arguments such as having to show an ID to vote is wrong.

But when it comes to real issues that really affect millions of voters they turn their backs and walk away.





Article: The project, which tracks military votes, found in 2010 that only 4.5 percent of the 2 million military and overseas voters reported to the Election Assistance Commission were able to cast absentee ballots that were actually counted. Meanwhile, the overall national voter participation rate for the 2010 election was 41.6 percent.

Eversole said the problem exists because state election officials have difficulty keeping track of military voters because they are frequently deployed or move from base to base. That means that ballots are often sent to the wrong addresses, lost in the mail, or arrive at state election offices too late to be counted.

The problem is worse in presidential elections years when more people vote.
