WFPL -Louisville, Kentucky reports on pending legislation reducing the number of military voters unable to cast ballots.  

Giving Kentucky service members and their spouses the ability to cast absentee ballot electronically is the priority of the Kentucky State Senate heading into the 2013 legislative session, Senate President-elect Robert Stivers said on Monday.  Stivers says he’s taking recommendation from Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes to allow electronic voting for overseas military personnel.   

The measure will be Senate Bill 1 – the title that usually goes to the chamber’s chief legislative priority every year.  And Stivers says that if the legislation can be written in time. the Senate plans to pass it completely by the end of the session’s first week.

Will the incoming Committee on House Administration or the Senate Rules Committee make military voting and their oversight of the MOVE Act a priority?  In the House, the last hearing on the issue appears to be almost 2 years ago, Feb 2011.
