Should military personnel stationed overseas be allowed to vote?
I am appalled with the following. What is your opinion?
The George Soros and ACORN-backed Minnesota Secretary of State Mark Ritchie’s office attempted to disenfranchise overseas military voters, including those serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, for a technical matter over the voting forms they used.
Incredibly, Ritchie’s office relaxed the signature requirements for in person absentee voting — which helped Franken — but then refused to relax these same standards for military voters, including those in forward combat zones.
Al Franken claimed he was running to help our military in Iraq. What a hypocrite. What a sham!

Your comments are unsourced and therefore unreliable.
Yes is the obvious answer to the question in bold.

Lets send Al Franken over to Al Asad or Baghdad bases and let him tell the military members that. Problem solved very quickly

Military personnel should be permitted to vote on toilet paper if they are in a combat zone. There is no excuse for not counting a military ballot, unless you happen to be a democrat, Seems as though this was tried in 2000 By mr Gore also.

yeah maybe we should start shipping them out now and then wait until 2015 for them to get their votes in huh? Maybe we could even extend the registration deadline to vote in the 2012 election to about 2020? Maybe that would give you less to whine about? I mean heaven forbid anyone have to have any responsibility and actually mail their time sensative materials back on time. I mean that is just unpatriotic. gotta love right-wing victim complex. they are always the poor little victim, but yet never the responsible party, but claim to be the party of responsibility.

Military service men and women servicing overseas have always VOTED. I guess, Franken's opponent needs to suck it up just like Gore did in Florida.

Oh I might just stop by the nearest ACORN station in my dress blues and give them a peice of my mind. We should be allowed to vote because we die for dumbasses like ACORN. We put ourselves on the line and say if you want to harm America go through us first. They're a Goddamn disgrace to say that. I voted for McCain in Iraq on my tour

Ancient history and already resolved.
