Military Voting Mess 2012

Because you might not see it at other blogs, here is the link to the story on the DOD Inspector General’s report finding that the Department of Defense has failed to comply with federal law requiring military installations to provide voter registration services.  Congress authorized $75 million to ensure that this happened by 2012, but the head of the Pentagon office responsible, Pam Mitchell (photo below), said there wasn’t enough funding.


Congress is set to hold hearings where we may find out if this was deliberate Obama adminstration policy to ignore federal law when it comes to military voters, or, gross incompetence by Mitchell’s FVAP shop.  Stay tuned.   It’s starting to feel like 2010 all over again.
