Dying for democracy, but not getting a vote
Phil Carter discusses a story in USA Today about problems with getting the votes counted of soldiers deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan. And why the administration's DoJ does not seem to feel that fixing a truly broken system should be a priority.
Typically, the military is thought to lean heavily Republican. But after long deployments, growing disillusionment with the war, declining morale, and the declining popularity of George W. Bush that assumption may be turned on its head.
Add to that the fact that a lot of military bases and military families are in swing states, and it gets a lot more interesting...and urgent.
