“Cornyn faults Justice on efforts to enforce troop’s voting rights”

Washington Times:  “A key Senate Republican on Tuesday pressed the Justice Department to step up its enforcement of a 2009 law that requires states to provide absentee ballots to military service members and their families 45 days before elections.”

I learned yesterday that Senator Cornyn has yet to receive from the Justice Department the state-by-state breakdown of which states were in compliance with the MOVE Act and which were not.  Cornyn requested the basic information last summer, and never got a reply.  Simply, silly screw ups like this are the sort of things that are bound to cause fiery scrutiny of everything DOJ does in 2012 on military voting, and potentially will result in holds of future DOJ nominees.    This was discussed in “Obama’s bumblers damage military voting rights.”
