GOP action on mail ballot timelines angers military families

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio's restrictive new election law significantly shortens the window for mailed ballots to be received — despite no evidence that the extended timeline has led to fraud or any other problems — and that change is angering active-duty members of the military and their families because of its potential to disenfranchise them.

The pace of ballot counting after Election Day has become a target of conservatives egged on by former President Donald Trump. He has promoted a false narrative since losing the 2020 election that fluctuating results as late-arriving mail-in ballots are tallied is a sign of fraud.

Republican lawmakers said during debate on the Ohio legislation that even if Trump's claims aren't true, the skepticism they have caused among conservatives about the accuracy of election results justifies imposing new limits.

The new law reduces the number of days for county election boards to include mailed ballots in their tallies from 10 days after Election Day to four. Critics say that could lead more ballots from Ohio's military voters to miss the deadline and get tossed.

Since the GOP now considers the military to be woke they don't give a shit.

6. They are domestic terrorisrs & do not care about anyone but themselves!

"Service" in qpublicon translates as a way to belly up to the gubmint feeding trough & stuff their pockets.

Should be designated a terrorist org since they are trying to privatize everything and, left unchecked, would result in all of our beloved institutions being on par with pootin's mitary!

No thanks!

Aloha, Cha! 🌺

3. I have got to think.....

This is some bizarre bet that has taken a very bad turn. First, they bet how many people they could kill and still get elected. Then, they bet on how many people they could turn against them, because of SC abortion ruling, and still get elected. Now they are betting on how many military they can tick off and still win.

It is honestly a wonder how anyone is still voting for them. How many more boxes do they need to cut off.

5. In !y neck of the woods

there's plenty of people to vote for them. We have lots of dumb asses here. My neighbor said she told her son if he votes for Marci Kaptur he could find a new place to live. I told her I voted for Marci she made up this unbelievable story about Marci. I told her I didn't believe it. She doesn't talk to me much anymore. Oh well.
