Bush-Cheney Screw Troops Voting Rights!
Denying the Troops a Secret Ballot
September 3, 2004
New York Times
Full Story: http://www.nytimes.com/2004/09/03/opinion/03fri2.html

Members of the military will be allowed to vote this year by faxing or e-mailing their ballots - after waiving their right to a secret ballot. Beyond this fundamentally undemocratic requirement, the Electronic Transmission Service, as it's known, has far too many problems to make it reliable, starting with the political partisanship of the contractor running it to its donor the RNC. The Defense Department is making matters worse by withholding basic information about the service, and should suspend it immediately.

MUST READ THE FULL ARTICLE. Damn the Bush-Cheney fraud is getting old!

3. This kind of crap happens all the friggin' time! If the military
people are important enough to defend this country then they are important enough to go to great pains to make sure their votes are delivered back to the states!
