I hear on radio he has made more exacting statements on the same issue: General Norman Schwarzkopf's Statement Newsmax.com Monday, Nov. 20, 2000 Statement by retired General Norman Schwarzkopf regarding the denied overseas absentee ballots: It is a very sad day in our country when the men and women of the armed forces are serving abroad and facing danger on a daily basis in places like Bosnia, Kosovo or on ships like the USS George Washington, yet because of some technicality out of their control they are denied the right to vote for the President of the United States, who will be their commander in chief. These men and women do not have the luxury of getting in their cars and going to the post office to mail their ballots. They must depend upon a system that takes their ballot directly from their front-line positions on a circuitous route to the ballot box. At the same time, because of other perceptions of irregularity other ballots that have already been counted twice and are now being counted a third time. For the sake of fairness alone these armed forces ballots should be allowed to be tallied. newsmax.com
