I woke up this morning with two things on my mind.  The first thing is that we are one step closer to yanking that gavel out of Nancy Pelosi‘s hand.  That’s quite an intoxicating thought for me.  Yes, I did say intoxicating. There isn’t a vintage red wine anywhere that could even come close to tasting this good.  But the second thing that came to my mind only serves to underscore the importance of what I believe will be a Republican landslide today. That is the blatent disregard for the voting rights of the American‘s  serving this country far from our boarders by the Department of Justice, or, more accurately, the Department of IN justice.

The Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment Act ( MOVE)  was signed into law in 2009 as an extension to the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act as a means of ensuring that  the voice of the men and women who serve this country be heard at the ballot box.   There are several key provisions of this law, but the one that will impact this midterm election most is the requirement that ballots be sent out no later than 45 days prior to the election.    But as is the case with much “protective” legislation, states were granted the ability to petition for a waiver of those requirements.  Typical.  And requests were filed by states such asHawaii, New York, Washington, and Massachusetts to name a few.  So those ballots could very likely not be counted in this election.  In states where the race is close, this will have a significant impact.  And in case you are wondering, military votes tend to heavily favor Republican candidates.  In states such as New York and Massachusetts, this would appear to be the only strategy  that the dirty dems have to hang on to their “hope” of the continued transformation of America.  And for the life of me, I cannot understand why American’s are taking this sitting down.  If our solider’s votes don’t count..why should anyone else’s ?  Tragic.
