Disenfranchised in Iraq
Omigosh! The MoveOn people and complaining Democrats were absolutely correct——an important demographic was disenfranchised in the last election.
But you won't hear much wailing from them because apparently that disenfranchised demographic consisted of soldiers and overseas voters.
The National Defense Committee, a pro military organization, estimates at least 25% of absentee ballots cast by soldiers and overseas voters were not counted.
And of course you know which candidates, which party the military overwhelmingly prefers.
