Kamala Harris proudly stated that this was the primary time in US historical past that no American soldier was stationed in an lively warzone – a blatant lie. The Pentagon lately admitted it did not ship absentee ballots to lively service members overseas. Why would the Pentagon wish to stop our army patriots from voting?
That is greater than a mere misstep. Some servicemembers who requested a poll have been advised the stockpile on their base was depleted and had not been replenished.
GOP Reps. Brian Mast (R-FL), Invoice Huizenga (R-MI), and Mike Waltz (R-FL) penned a letter to Secretary of Protection Lloyd Austin asking for solutions. “Our nation’s brave men and women in uniform brought to our attention that there has been inadequate education at the administrative level on how to register to vote, request an absentee ballot, and fill in a federal write-in absentee ballot if their state-issued ballot does not arrive in time,” the letter reads.
Some declare that is Republican propaganda as servicemembers can apply to vote on-line, however the GOP claims there was “inadequate education” surrounding the right way to vote whereas deployed. It’s nonetheless curious why offering our heroes ballots was not a high precedence since the results of this election could have a direct affect on their future.
