PJ Media has more on the three week delay in bringing the lawsuit against Vermont for screwing military voters.
“Naturally the swift and efficient DOJ Voting section waited nearly three weeks to bring the federal lawsuit. To anyone who has worked in the Voting Section, the reason(s) it takes so long for military voting enforcement to activate are entirely obvious, and must be comprehensively overhauled in a Romney administration.
These lost 19 days will disenfranchise military voters. DOJ should have filed a complaint within the first week of non-compliance, and demanded either a consent decree or TRO that forced Vermont to use express delivery of ballots from that moment forward. Instead, DOJ’s current leadership thinks that a slow leisurely litigation schedule that tacks on extra days to return ballots after the election is already over is the solution. That thinking needs to be removed from DOJ in 2013. . . .
I’ve talked with scores of military voters in the last 2 years that describe a voting system that is so inefficient that large numbers of folks who wear the uniform simply bail out of the process. This is a sickening tragedy that must be once and for all fixed by a new administration. Fundamental changes must be made @FVAP (#IGReportsaysFAIL), where social media is seen as the solution to the problem. (#wherearethevotingoffices #PaddyMcGuireDemocrat #75milliondollarsblown) Even more fundamental changes are needed to eliminate the DOJ bottleneck to speedy and effective UOCAVA enforcement.”
