New study shows military voting participation rates plummeting to all-time lows

Link to a Military Voter Participation Project study here. 

This report reveals a bleak picture for military voters for the upcoming 2012 election as rates of participation are a fraction of that in 2008.  This study is a wealth of information on military voting participation rates in the battleground states and some of the causes of that sharp drop.  Some of the drop is directly related to a lack of implementation of key parts of the MOVE Act by the Department of Defense and a failure to fully enforce the MOVE Act by the Department of Justice. 

In the coming days, ELC will provide some analysis of the different parts of the study.
