The Military Voter Protection Project says 15 states have made
exceptional efforts to ensure military personnel can cast ballots.

The “All-Star” list released Tuesday included Alaska, Colorado,
Florida, Indiana, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nevada, North
Carolina, Ohio, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington and West Virginia.   “These states are led by a tremendous group of state and local
election officials who have made military voters a priority in
elections. They have provided the gold standard of leadership in the
fight to promote and protect the voting rights of our heroes,” said Eric
Eversole, founder and executive director of the group. “We still have a
long way to go, but these states are providing the example for other
states to follow.”

McClatchy asked about those not on the list:

Eric Eversole, executive director of the military voter project,
identified the states doing the worst job at helping military voters as
Alabama, California, Illinois, New York and Wisconsin.

“Extraordinary
efforts to help military service members in war zones votes should be
universal. The reasons they aren’t are often just bureaucratic, or an
inefficient system,” Eversole said. “But these are Americans willing to
sacrifice everything for their country. We at least owe it to them to
make sure their votes count.”
