Military Voting: Megyn Kelly v. Katie Blynn

Here is Fox News’ Megyn Kelly taking on Katie Blynn, Washington State’s election director.  The Pentagon granted Washington a waiver even though their primary is on August 17.  The bottom line in Washington is that they are slow to get ballots printed.  They are using decades old technology to get their ballots printed in time to go out 45 days in advance of the election.  Multiple vendors exist who can print the complicated ballots in 24 hours and get them shipped.   Now that Washington is exempted from the MOVE Act, they don’t have to comply with the law.  Also, it is important to understand that letting military ballots come in late and be counted is NOT a solution to the problem.  First of all, the solider might not detect a problem in time (eg. the ballot isn’t coming) if the ballot is mailed out late.  This issue is not going away.  If you want to know more about overseas military voting, go to the Military Voter Protection Project for more information.
