They are fighting for our freedoms, give them their vote. They need to be allowed to vote up to 3 months early.
Democrats HATE our service men AND their votes.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — President Obama’s reelection
campaign filed a federal lawsuit against Ohio’s top elections official Tuesday
in a dispute over the battleground state’s law that restricts in-person early
voting in the three days leading up to Election Day.
The lawsuit, filed in Columbus, follows a series of election-law changes that
were passed by the state’s Republican-controlled legislature and signed by Gov.
John Kasich (R).
Obama’s campaign and other Democrats argue that the law unfairly ends
in-person early voting for most Ohioans on the Friday evening before the Tuesday
election while allowing military and overseas voters to cast ballots in person
until Monday.
Before the changes to the law, local election boards had the discretion to
set their own hours for such voting on the days before the election. And
in-person voting on the weekend varied among the state’s 88 counties.
The state’s elections chief, Secretary of State Jon Husted, has argued that
all counties should have the same early-voting hours and be open on the same
days. Husted and his fellow Republicans contend it is unfair that a voter in one
county can cast an early ballot on a day when a voter in a neighboring county
cannot.
Obama for America was joined in the lawsuit by the Democratic National
Committee and the Ohio Democratic Party.
Ohio is one of 32 states that allow voters to cast early ballots by mail or
in person without an excuse. About 30 percent of the total vote in swing states
— or roughly 1.7 million ballots — came in ahead of Election Day in the last
presidential election.
Obama won Ohio in 2008, but Republican challenger Mitt Romney is expected to
make a strong play for it in November.

ODUMBO Grants 800,000 Illegals Temp Amnesty, yet Tries to Deny and added 3-days for Military Ballots to be received and Counted from Overseas Troops, Who Are Counting on the GOV to Get their Ballots Returned in a timely Fashion, Which Failed in 2008 and 2010...
What the hell is wrong with that man ~
To blatently dis'those who protect his sorry ass like that :p
Maybe they should all boogie on'back this way, to vote on time, huh ?
'Sorry Obama, I laid down my arms to vote, and you got smoked cuz I wasn't there for ya !'
"Hey Mustaf..You have to wait till I get Back..I have to Go Vote...Hold That Thought Until I Get Back"...
yeah that will go over alright...lol~!!!
I know, right ?!?
Bend Over to Allow Illegals To Vote by whatever means they Can..No ID required in some States, and Try to get them Driver's Licenses, in States that Do require ID...
Every State Should Require ID...
You need one to Drive, To Bank, To Use a Credit Card, To By Cig's and Booze, To Travel on Airplains and Cruise Ships, etc...Why is Voting Excluded...Of All The reason to Have an ID, Voting IS...
The JOKE....LIB's...Uninformed, Deny the Facts Presented to them because they are NOT from a LIB Blog Site...That is The Joke...
" Most recently, the legislature ended early voting in the three days before the election — but kept it in place for military voters.
In Obama for America v. Husted, the complaint alleges that distinction between military and nonmilitary voters violates the equal protection clause of the federal constitution."
These Publications from all venues, Do NOT state that...They Are Reporting On the Additional 3-Days the Military has Over the Citizens Have in OHIO...The DEMS have Filed Suit Contesting Those Three Days...
PERIOD...Deal With It..
Go Plead to someone else that will Buy Your BS...
Here a part you pasted from your own link;
"Third Paragraph Down On Assoc Press, Published in Washington Times, In My Topic Post...
Quote...
"Obama’s campaign and other Democrats argue that the law unfairly ends
in-person early voting for most Ohioans on the Friday evening before the Tuesday election while allowing military and overseas voters to cast ballots in person until Monday".
Key phrase from your link;
""Obama’s campaign and other Democrats argue that the law unfairly ends
in-person early voting for most Ohioans."
LMAO
You Need To Learn How To READ...Called Comprehension...But One Must Have a Mind FIRST, To Be Able To Comprehend....
LMAO...
FED Law Has Given States With Early Voting the Right to ADD the 3-days for Military to Vote who Cannot take advantage of the Early Voting...
Might want to check that Out...
This is What This Suit Is About, Taking those Three day away..
Ohio Citizens Have an Early voting Period, The Military does not for those Outside the Home Towns of where they live...They are the ones Being Disenfranchised in that Regard...Hence the FED Law...
The Three days are also Needed for Admistrative reasons to Process the Flood of Votes from the Lilitary Delivery System..All At Once...
Its not about taking away from the military that's a lie. You and the rest of the idiots on this blog are ignorant liars...
Ohio Citizens Have Early Voting Rights....which Mean they can vote at Any Time in that Time Period..
The Military Cannot, Unless they are Home on Leave..
Disenfranchisement..
The Military is NOY in Control of their Ballots during this Time Period...
The GOV, Delivers Ballots to their Units, Collects those Ballots and Then Delivers Those Ballots ALL AT ONCE..
Those Added 3-days are Needed to Receive Them and Count Them...
After The Citizens have had Theirs Counted...This is WHY the 3-days are Needed..Over and Above the Citizens...
In 2008, 1/4 the Military Vote was received Late..it went to Congress who Denied them being Counted as they Were Received Late....
The Military Makes up 15% ot the Vote...You do the math on what 1/4 of those represent when Not Counted...
All this is in those Links I have been sending you and You Still are Missing the Forest for The Trees...
The Military, which you obviously Never Served In or you would Understand, Voting Is Done On Base, when You are Out of your City or NOT on Leave...
Thos Votes are Collected ON BASE, They Are Then Delivered To Each State, When The GOV, Gets Around to Delivering Them, and They are Delivered All At One Time after Collecting from all Bases Around the World...Then after Delivery They Are Counted All at One Time...
So You DO NOT Think the Three added Days to INSURE they are Counted, is Fair, WHEN THEY DO NOT Have the Luxury of 30-day Early Voting as The Citizens Do....???
How Generous of You In Supporting Our Troops..
It IS NOT about The Citizens Having an added 3- days, When They ALREADY Have 30....
It Is About Our GOV getting The Military Votes Here In time and 3-added days, for That...
But as We All Can See here, THAT is Too Much For YOU and The rest of The LIB ILK to accept...
2008...1/4 of the Military Vote Denied for being Late, yet it was The GOV who Made Them Late
2010 Same Thing again...
Thank You For YOUR Support Of Our Military, Dying For YOUR Right To Vote, While YOU Deny Them Theirs...
How Magnanamous Of YOU
In Ohio, These troops that are given the Three additional days, could be stationed in CA, FL, HI, Gitmo...any number of places...The GOV issues their Voter Forms to them and then they are filled out, by them...Once They Get Them, and Returned..It this Time Frame Involved that was Brought into question in 2006, Missing Ballots that dissapeared.....1/4 of the Military Vote Not Counted in 2008, and Those Not Counted in 2010, For Being Returned Late..
