Reports of Blocked Military Votes Still Coming In
-- and some of them live in Florida

KeepAndBearArms.com -- We have more confirmed
reports of U.S. servicemen and women being prevented
from voting. Absentee ballots missing or arriving
too late is a larger problem than we'd even have
guessed, and we are still receiving new reports as
the day wears on. Here are the latest reports:

Okinawa -- another confirmed report of no ballot
having been provided. In her own words:

"I am living on Okinawa. I was active duty until
Sep 02-00, and I did ask my unit rep to sign me
up to vote -- but heard nothing after that.  I
did not receive a ballot at all. Yes, I would
have voted for Gov. Bush."

We also have our first confirmed report from a resident
of Florida stationed in America whose ballot didn't
arrive until the day before the election. He requested
his absentee ballot in September and placed a second
request in October. According to him:

"I received my Ballot the day after the election.
My parents requested my ballot in September, but
it was sent to the wrong address. I re-requested
a ballot in late October. I live in Florida, and
I would have voted for Bush."

He's not the only soldier who resides in Florida and
didn't receive a ballot -- and would have thrown a
vote to Governor Bush. This just came in:

"I am a state resident of Florida. In my 16 years
in the military I have never NOT received a ballot...
until this year. And yes, I would most definitely
have voted for Bush."

And so it goes. We have a confirmed report in from a
couple whose home state is Oregon. She received her
ballot, and he didn't.

Some military personnel did receive their ballots
in time to vote, of course. From our email today:

"I am from the state of Illinois, and requested
my ballot in September, I received my ballot on
November 6th 2000, the ballot needed to be returned
by 2 pm on the 7th.  I did send my ballot in, and
I did vote for BUSH!!"

and

"I am a soldier stationed in the US at Carlisle
Barracks in Pennsylvania, away from my voting district. 
Everyone at Carlisle Barracks was provided all forms,
etc months in advance. I can tell you that everyone
here was encouraged to vote."

We are elated to know that some military personnel did
get to vote. But the absence of ballots for others is
not only puzzling, it is an outrage. How those who
received their ballots on the 7th were to accomplish
the stated deadline is a mystery. Who helped orchestrate
this travesty is no mystery at all.

Thank you to all who've assisted in blowing
this thing wide open. We've had calls from
Senators asking servicemen and women to contact
their Senators and U.S. Representatives directly. http://www.senate.gov/contacting/index_by_state.cfm

And we continue our request to all military personnel:
please fill out our survey from the above link --
especially if you didn't get to vote. Just because you
contact your congresscritters doesn't mean that information
will get to the Governor. We WILL get it there.

Sorry didnt have time to check if this was
already posted under different article.
I work with a former marine and his son is on active duty.
Their both annoyed how his son got his ballot way too late to send in to be counted with the rest and....
as you may have guessed his son sais everyone he know is for Bush.
I talked to a lady today on my way out of the mall who is still in service and with
much grumbling agress that theyve seen all of the mentioned funding cuts and have even seen some bases closed.
I didnt ask for detail she responded as if shed been asked this more than a few times before.

I dont understand how anyone in America after seeing the lenths Clinton has gone too
to make close ties with so many different communist leaders could think of supporting Gore after how strongly hes backed comarde
Clinton.
