Military voting expert Eric Eversole has an editorial at the Washington Times.  He describes tragic problems with 17,000 military ballots in 2008 going to waste, and questions whether anything will change in 2010:

“There is no doubt that the Voting Section’s decision disenfranchised thousands of military members. According to the Election Assistance Commission, more than 17,000 military and overseas voters were disenfranchised in 2008 because their ballots arrived after the deadline and had to be rejected. Thousands more were disenfranchised when their ballots never arrived or were received too close to the election to be returned.”
