Last month I wrote about how our US military voters might be showing us the correct way- they vote overwhelmingly for Republicans, including solid patriotic conservative Republicans. Because of this, Democrats have been working for years to disenfranchise them. Over at the American Spectator, Peter Hannaford has written about this in this article, talking about how his grandson was just disenfranchised:
We learned from our grandson, a Lance Corporal in a Marine Combat Engineer unit in Iraq, that his absentee ballot, requested well over a month ago, was received by him on Thursday. His parents traced the matter with the local post office and found it had left there on September 29. It took a full month to reach him. By mailing it back this last Friday he has a very slim chance it will reach the elections office in Arlington, Virginia, in time to be counted.
Take a look in the comment section in that story. Here is one of the comments:
My son applied for his absentee ballot while in Iraq SIX months ago! He never received it.
What could be happening here? Why might the United States Post Office be purposefully slowing or not sending absentee ballots to our military service members? I don't think it is an organized plot- and I don't think Obama is behind it. But I do think it is happening, and it concerns me because the American Postal Workers Union has endorsed Obama. Heck, I even caught workers wearing Obama buttons at my local post office. When government employees control the mail, and they support Obama, it is not far-fetched to imagine that they may be playing games with the ballots meant for our armed services members.
