Interesting about missing military ballots. Many military people, especially young single ones retain their home state as their home of record. I would guess this covers half. But the others who take up residence in the state where they are stationed will vote there. For instance any Navy ships with home ports in Florida may have many people who vote in Florida. How much of a factor this makes in Florida I dont know.

Unfortunately, this type of thing happens during every election. Military often get their ballots late. In fact, my friend was overseas and got his absentee ballot about 5 weeks after the election due to some 'typical' military foul up. (this is not said to knock the services, only to point out what happens all too frequently).

We live in interesting times!

I would find it rather shocking if it proves to be true that a whole base in Tokyo received no ballots. I think there would be outrage. Yes. Servicemen and women denied a vote? That; people can understand.
