down 70% in OH and VA.  the obamites won't allow voter ID laws because they believe it may possibly tend to disenfranchise "their" voters, but won't hesitate to intentionally and absolutely disenfranchise an entire voting block that they feel isn't supportive.

leaving aside the fact that these are the guys keeping us safe.

Military ballot requests down in key battleground states

Requests from military voters for absentee ballots have dropped significantly since 2008, according to newly released statistics, prompting claims that the Department of Defense is dragging its feet in enacting a law meant to boost military voting.

The drop in the battleground states of Virginia and Ohio is among the most pronounced. According to statistics released Monday by The Military Voter Protection Project, the number of absentee ballot requests by both military members and other overseas voters in the two states has dropped 70 percent since 2008.   

Virginia had nearly 42,000 total requests in 2008, compared with a little more than 12,000 this year, according to the MVP Project. Ohio had more than 32,000 in 2008, compared with 9,700 this year. The number of military voters specifically -- as opposed to military and overseas voters -- was not broken down in the latest set of statistics, but military-only numbers released by the MVP Project in August documented a similar drop-off in applications.

ah, once again, the obamites tell us to talk to them  after the election, and we will look into it.

A spokeswoman with the Defense Department, though, stressed that total numbers will not be available until after the election.
