Obama Campaign Sues to Restrict Military Voting

Whilst i don't doubt for one second what you're saying, I don't get it... you are actually talking like it matters a fuck which silly cunt party you vote for... makes no difference at all. NONE - we seem to think that democracy is just all about ticking a box - like that's what our grandparents died for, so we could make a tick next to cunt 1 or cunt 2 every 4-5 years...

Don't vote - it's the MOST democratic thing you could do

Concur...

seems no one read or comprehended the article...it about 3 extra days for in-person voting in Ohio, not the restriction of the right to vote.

...simmer down now!

Military members do not rely upon blogs for information concerning voting rights as there are federal laws and state laws and you must go to a source that has all the current facts.

To Vote Absentee, Start By Telling Us Who You Are

For active-duty members of the Armed Forces, Merchant Marine, Public Health Service, NOAA, and their family members.

For United States citizens who are living outside the U.S. for work, school or other reasons.

Very important. Not allowing the military to vote up to 3 days prior to the election day makes it possible for him... oops, "something" to happen the day before the election that would wipe out one of the most conservative voting blocks there is.

The report is a lie. The Military can vote up to and including election day. I repeat. Breitbart.com is a hack. They printed a lie. Why is this still pinned?

You are so right and I believe this election will be the ruination of the US. Thousands will die because of this, mark my words, there will be hell to pay over whomever wins. ITs a very sad time,because nefarious braindead people rule the day!

why the fuck do we even bother
talking about this shit anymore ???

Actually I live in a Republic...it's called America and you may have heard of it...where are you from?

See?...I told you everything was about being a RACIST...AHHH YOU DON'T WANT BROWN PEOPLE TO VOTE!!!...WHY DO YOU HATE BLACK PEOPLE!!!!AHHH!!!!..

You did great, wait until we move into the SEXIST! and POOR PEOPLE HATER! portions of the program, I'll be looking for you to give another strong performance!

Not real fond of the way you express yourself.

Ohio is interesting. For about 5 years some Democratic counties in Ohio had over 100% of the VAP (voting age population) registered - Cuyuhoga for instance (I checked and they haven't hit 100% this year yet). Roughly 25% of Cuyuhoga county is under 18 or imported. They had up to about 85% of the population registered. Legal and honest doesn't appear to be the Democratic party style in Ohio.

The lost cards, lost keys, misprogrammed machines, etc. Someone in the Ohio election system is either desperately dishonest and needs to be incarcerated, or horribly stupid and needs to be fired.

"New York Democratic Congressman’s Adviser Fired and under Scrutiny for Illegally Registering to Vote in Ohio

By Truthteller on October 30, 2008 at 8:45 PM in Obama's Thugs, Ohio, Voter Fraud

Democratic operative after Democratic operative tied in one way or another to the Obama campaign is attempting to cast a fraudulent and illegal vote in Ohio.
...
No wonder why Democratic Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner does not desire to determine whether or not votes cast by new registrants are valid: a concerted attempt has been made by the Obama campaign and by Democratic operatives to have voters from other states cast their ballots in Ohio during the general election."


"Although conceivably election officials could still have removed Perez’s name from the electronic ballots on the voting machines at that point, Piscitelli says they didn’t because they didn’t have time.
He says they were using 1,100 different ballot styles on 4,200 voting machines and all of them would have needed to be updated. They also would have had to re-record the audio ballot designed for disabled voters. They would have had to do this at the same time that they were making preparations for the start of absentee voting, which was slated to begin a couple of days after Perez withdrew.

“We just didn’t have the time to make all the changes necessary to remove his name from the ballot,” he says.

But if election officials didn’t remove Perez’s name from any ballots, then why did his name disappear from Brunner’s ballot? A handful of other voters in at least four Franklin County precincts have also come forward to tell the secretary of state’s staff that Perez’s name was also removed from their ballots and replaced with a gray bar and “candidate withdrawn” message.

...

Franklin County’s Piscitelli defends the decision that a county programmer made to turn it off, saying there is no state law that prevents election officials from turning off a log."

Don't know what to make of Franklin County. Don't know what to make Ben Piscitelli. Ben shouldn't be turning the logs off. Having 1100 different ballot styles guarantees confusion. Someone should be checking all the machines are correct. Democrats shouldn't be trying to pad the voter list.

The reason there were longer lines in minority areas is voters took 18% longer to vote per voter.

There is another reason:
"Michael McDonald of George Mason University has this response,
I would be cautious in moving forward with this VRA claim against Franklin County.... My understanding is that Franklin County was inundated with new registrations near the end of the registration period. By the time they processed these forms, it was too late to change the allocation of voting machines to the precincts as the preparation for the election was well underway..."

There were actually less votes cast per machine in the urban Franklin county districts. Since they know people in urban districts are less capable they should allocate more machines.

Every single election I've checked since 2000 Franklin County has screwed up.

I believe your thesis is incorrect. The problem in Ohio isn't cheating or suppression as much as incompetence plain and simple.

Don't know what to think about this. Ohio and Florida (which has similar problems) should be banned from voting in presidential elections.

somethings wrong

So AP and the ACLU are lying too?

Page 8 on the PDF specifically addresses eliminating early in-person voting the weekend before the election for overseas and military voters. [link to www.acluohio.org]

"In the weeks following HB 194’s passage, voting rights advocates aggressively circulated
petitions to put the legislation under referendum. Sensing that HB 194 would be placed under
referendum, and all of its provisions neutralized, legislators in the Ohio General Assembly
amended another proposed bill, HB 224. HB 224 originally only addressed absentee voting rules
for overseas and military voters, but was amended to reinforce the elimination of early in-person
voting on the weekend before the election that was passed in HB 194."

Why? They get paid good money to fight, and get free health care for life.

How so as all you have quoted was blogs thus he said she said opinions did you investigate a government website that knows state voting laws as I have or is opinions of those who you approve of is all that matters.

Wow. If his agenda was to ROYALLY PISS OFF HIS OWN MILITARY....THUS "WILL" DO IT!!!...... AND TRUST ME...AS A FORMER MARINE CORPS WIFE, MOM, AND HAVE 4 NIECES WHOSE HUSBANDS SERVED IN THE AIR FORCE AND MARINE CORPS AND 5 COUSINS WHIVE ALL SERVED IN THE CORPS & I STILL HAVE ALOT OF FRIENDS SERVING CURRENTLY.....THESE MEN R GOING TO TELL OUR GOVT.... and let THEM THROW EM IN THE BRIG, OR WHATEVER ELSE BUT YOU TELL THOSE GUYS THEY CANT VOTE...YOUVE JUST TOLD THEM THEIR NOT AMERICANS AND THER GONNA SAY, WE ARENT AMERICAN....WE CANT VOTE????....... WATCH THIS!!!!!!
YEAH! IM REALLY WANTING TO SEE HOW THIS " SHIT FER BRAINS" PLAN PANS OUT!!!

HB 194 passed by the Republican held House limited voting for every tax paying citizen in Ohio EXCEPT military personnel. Early voting was ended for the Sat, Sun and Mon. before the election. The Obama administration wants that Bill thrown out. It's only purpose is to make it harder for voters in Urban areas to vote. The lawsuit contends the State gives no credible reason why the military can vote those three days yet the normal tax paying citizen can't. The law was just designed to suppress votes in urban areas with high voter turnout. these are generally Democratic voting areas.

Again. Why is this lie pinned.

What is hypocritical, is they are suing in another state so Romney's camp cant stop Veterans voting, so they are claiming in MSM, its mind numbing deliberately, and why isn't even Fox calling them out on this, really i pray that all trust and respect that even the braindead and mentally impaired have for MSM and TV reporting is totally done away with in the states and those corporations loose everything, especially money and power and influence, amen YAHshua/Jesus

Demoncraps are losing.The military hates and distrusts the usurper in thief barry soeyoro bin laden.You suck.

Can't get in the way of destiny.

Aye, check and mate.

One party's lie is another's truth.

It is all a matter of perspective.

In the end, the ability to vote is being manipulated.

Regardless of perspective, that should alarm any and every American.

Ha Ha...most of the military is black or hispanic and come from poor families. Very few white rich kids go off to die including every single one of Romney's sons. Poor people fight wars and a shit load of them will vote Obama you idiots.

so, you're saying that this group of military, you grouped em, not me, can't think logically about their position and health in this election?

No critical thought on their part?

I've seen many Yioutube videos of military pledging to one candidate, not just being drones, like you said,.

More bullshit propaganda. They are suing because they want EVERYBODY to be able to cast absentee ballots up until the day before the election instead of just the military.

I love the way this shit is framed and distorted to mean something it doesn't. Then again, if Obama had his way, dead cartoon characters from Krypton would be able to vote as long as they were registered democratic.

If he had his way, you'd be able to name your dog shit and register it to vote. Wait...that already happened. That's how he won.

i heard the state of ohio is close and by stopping the military vote there he most likely can win ohio it be a key state

All the more reason to VOTE people, get out and vote!!

Obama has no shame and will do anything to win, including denying the Military a chance to vote. We have a disgusting president.

Even rightwing commentators know this is a lie.
