Pentagon blasts New York’s absentee ballot plan for troops

At the link, the Wall Street Journal reports on the denial of a waiver request from New York to comply with the MOVE Act for a series of federal elections in 2012. 

In denying New York’s request for a waiver Wednesday, the Defense Department said the state’s election plan for 2012 “provides no concrete solution to the problems that arose in 2010 from the state’s overly-compressed schedule for preparing and transmitting ballots.”

It’s an outrage that New York is even asking for a waiver.
