Poetrooper sent us a link to an article in the Daily Caller<\/a> in regards to a lawsuit that the Romney campaign filed against the state of Wisconsin to insure that they allow military ballots to be returned since 30 of the state’s municipalities failed to mail absentee ballots in the time frame mandated by federal law.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause members of the military are often stationed in remote, dangerous, frontline locations, there is a substantial likelihood that the defendants\u2019 violations of law will prevent military voters from receiving, completing, and returning their ballots in time to have them counted,\u201d the lawsuit filed Friday reads. \u201cThe defendants\u2019 unlawful conduct therefore may effectively disenfranchise the very men and women who make daily sacrifices to protect our system of democratic government.\u201d\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Please don’t bother to preach to me that this is a campaign ploy for both military votes and because Romney is fairly certain that those military votes will be for him. I know that. I’m not hard of smelling.<\/p>\n

But, it should be the Justice Department filing lawsuits against the state to insure that military votes are counted, because, you know the Justice Department is supposed to be defending the rights of all Americans, not just Democrat-voting Americans. According to the DC article, the Justice Department did file a lawsuit against Vermont – you know, Vermont with it’s 3 electoral votes. So they can hide behind that.<\/p>\n

Wisconsin says that there were only 44 ballots mailed late, but the Romney campaign says they’d fight this if it was only one ballot. Well, at least we know what a Romney Administration would do about military voting. And we know what a second Obama Administration would do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
