While Alaska, Maryland, Hawaii , Colorado, Washington, New York and Delaware seek to avoid new federal protections for military voters, the Georgia Secretary of State reminds us that some states did what was necessary to come into compliance with federal law.  Other states with September primaries also got the job done, including Florida.  Vermont is another notable example of a state that did what it took to get the job done to comply with MOVE.  Keep this in mind when states like New York groan that they need a waiver from the new federal law:

“Military voters have had difficult times voting in local and national elections simply because of time and distance. While many states have been dragging their feet on compliance with the MOVE Act, The Secretary of State’s office and the Georgia Legislature have allowed no grass to grow under their feet on this issue.”
