Link to the story, where the Romney Campaign is sending letters to multiple states who have failed to get ballots out in time.  Michigan is the latest recipient of the letter.  DoJ has been requested to act upon the information.  Tick, tick, tick.  Just over 30 days before the election.

The letters sent in recent days on Romney’s behalf by former U.S.
Veterans Affairs Secretary Anthony Principi charge that election
officials in the states missed the Sept. 22 deadline for mailing some
ballots to overseas and military voters. A fourth letter was to be sent
Tuesday to Michigan officials, according to Romney campaign spokesman
Ryan Williams.

Interesting piece on the military ballot situation in Colorado:

The VFW blames the Pentagon:

Joe Davis, director of public affairs at the Washington, D. C. office of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, said the VFW was disappointed by findings in the DOD Inspector General report.

“To DOD, a rack of voter pamphlets in the orderly room or at the
family services office constitutes ‘dedicated space’ in a military
mindset that’s more focused on war or training for war than something
that only occurs federally every two years,” Davis said in an email to
ColoradoWatchdog.com.

Pew Center on the States blames the Congress:

David Becker, director of election initiatives at the nonpartisan Pew Center on the States, said the drop in requests detailed in the MVP report may involve an oversight regarding federal postcard applications in the MOVE Act, which amended the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act of 1986.

The federal postcard application was established to let military and
overseas civilians use a single postcard to register to vote and apply
for absentee ballots, Becker said. But that requirement was omitted from
the MOVE Act.
