But at least he's giving them free admission to national parks?
Military families from Nevada casting valid absentee ballots have been blindsided by the revelation that Trump officials have accused them of "criminal voter fraud" in the 2020 election.
On Nov. 5, the Nevada Republican Party filed a criminal complaint with Attorney General Bill Barr and the Department of Justice alleging that 3,062 voters outside of Nevada "improperly cast" absentee ballots in the election.
"Thousands of individuals have been identified who appear to have violated the law by casting ballots after they moved from NV," Republicans claimed in the letter.
But more than 1,000 of the addresses on the list were clearly located on military posts and bases, and hundreds more were overseas military post office boxes.

This should be real simple.....for these dickheads to understand, let me try...............
APO stands for Army Post Office, and is associated with Army or Air Force installations.
FPO stands for Fleet Post Office, and is associated with Navy installations and ships. DPO stands for Diplomatic Post Office and is associated with U.S. embassies overseas.
So in other words these post office installations are based on American soil in foreign depots...........

Just to make things crystal clear: my criticism is directed towards misleading headlines, not the military.

But just because their military spouse is sent to a base in another state, that's not the same as their home state. Of course all these military voters are using the mail to vote in their home states, disenfranchising all of them only makes Trump look even stupid the usual.
