DEMOCRAT OFFICIAL IN VIRGINIA THROWING OUT MILITARY BALLOTS
Filed under: 2008

By Joel L (Email) @ 7:30 am

This story is why I hate having to use an absentee ballot when I am deployed.

Fairfax general registrar Rokey Suleman said Thursday that he has had to reject some of the ballots because of a Virginia law passed in 2002. That law — then called Senate Bill 113, sponsored by then state Sen. Bill Bolling — requires that when an overseas citizen wants to request an absentee ballot and cast a vote with the same paperwork, it requires not only a witness signature but also the current address of the witness.

The McCain campaign said there’s not even a space for the witness to list an address. Suleman agreed; he said the federal document was changed in recent years and the space for the witness address was removed. But the Virginia law hasn’t changed.

In case you think the Democrat official in this story is just doing his job check out this story about how Virginia officials are loosening Virginia election laws to help college students vote.

This makes me mad as hell. Some low level Democrat bureaucrat is throwing out the ballots of deployed servicemen and women on a ridiculous technicality while other Virginia bureaucrats are cutting legal corners help college students vote.
It is not like this hasn’t happened before.

Yet another reason I hate the Democrat Party. It does everything it can to suppress the voice of those that defend this country.
