More from Fox on the big victory for military voters in Federal Court today.

Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, said he was pleased with the decision and the MVP Project’s efforts. 

“But I am left wondering why a private organization had to act instead of the Justice Department. It is inexcusable that the department left Maryland troops, many of whom are serving in harm’s way in Iraq and Afghanistan, to fend for themselves. They deserve our government’s gratitude for their service, not a cold shoulder when their right to vote has been jeopardized,” he said. 

Christian Adams, the former Justice Department attorney who gained acclaim and criticism over his claims that the Justice Department was racially biased in its decision to not prosecute New Black Panther Party members who intimidated voters at a Philadelphia polling place in November 2008, called the Maryland decision “enormously important.”

“One thing it means is that military members need not wait on the bureaucrats in Washington D.C. at the Justice Department to sue,” Adams wrote on his Election Law Center blog.

“This also shows that people are more effective than their government DOJ filed no lawsuit in Maryland. MVP did. MVP won a victory for military voters from every state,” he wrote.  Lamone said that despite the ruling, the state is not to blame for the delay in military voters getting their ballots.   [Of course not.]
