The Washington Times today details the results of a report produced by AMVETS and the Chapman Law School and released by the Military Voting Protection Project.  It details some unfortunate statistics about military voting in 2010.  I’ve written extensively at Pajamas Media about the bungling by the administration in the 2010 elections.  Now data back it up:

“The Justice Department’s program for handling military absentee ballots suffers from major flaws, and a survey revealed low turnout among military voters in the 2010 mid-term elections, according to a report by a private group made public on Tuesday.”

Particularly disturbing:

“In some cases, the department recommended that a state prevent troops from voting. In Maryland, the Justice Department told the state to send ballots for federal elections only because ballots for local elections would have violated the 45-day deadline, the report says.  ‘They were basically telling Maryland that they could disenfranchise these voters’ rights to vote in local elections,’ Mr. von Spakovsky said.”

This issue will be discussed at a forum next week at the Heritage Foundation.
