that military personnel's vote may not count in the upcoming 2012 presidential election.
Siting that 17,000 overseas voters were disenfranchised in 2008.
Most ballots were sent late, not allowing sufficient time for the votes to be received and counted.
"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"
Research has concluded that a third of US states don't give military personnel enough time to vote
It's peculiar when you consider that
Ron Paul
(a grassroots candidate who stood for liberty and conservation of the constitution)
who was the victim of a media blackout which shaded his candidacy from the public
broke records receiving more donations then any other candidates.
The majority of those coming from military personnel,
indeed strange when considering Congressman Paul was completely against not only our wars in the Middle East, but also war in general.
With so much military backing one wonders who truly believes we are fighting a justifiable cause?
