Help our Troops get Ballots to Vote!!

[bluedog]

Problems with military absentee ballots that clouded the 2000 election have not been fixed, jeopardizing the ability of more than 160,000 troops fighting in Iraq (news - web sites) and Afghanistan (news - web sites) to have their votes counted this fall.

• The Government Accountability Office (GAO), the investigative arm of Congress formerly known as the General Accounting Office (news - web sites), found that the system used to collect and deliver mail in Iraq, including absentee ballots, suffers from long delays and other problems.


Studies show that military families are more likely to vote, and more likely to support Republicans, than others.

But this year, military experts say long deployments, low morale and some disaffection with President Bush (news - web sites)'s foreign-policy decisions may erode the GOP's edge.
