Military Absentee Ballots

Claim: Uncounted military absentee ballots delivered after the voting deadline would have won the 2012 presidential election for Mitt Romney.

FALSE






By the following day links and excerpts referencing this article were being circulated via social media, with many of those who encountered the item mistaking it for a genuine news article. However, that article was just a bit of political humor which played on stereotypes of military inefficiency. As noted in the Duffel Blog's "About Us" page, that web site deals strictly in military-based satire and faux news:

The Duffel Blog serves the men and women of the US Military with a daily dose of military humor, funny military pictures, and faux news. We take an interesting and funny look at military life. We focus on veterans, military stories, defense, politics (sometimes) and life on base — with a comedic twist. We are in no way, shape, or form, a real news outlet. Just about everything on this website is satirical in nature.

The content of this site is parody. No composition should be regarded as truthful, and no reference of an individual, company, or military unit seeks to inflict malice or emotional harm.

All characters, groups, and military units appearing in these works are fictitious. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, or actual military units and companies is purely coincidental.

Here's a bit of REAL news regarding military absentee ballots and the problems our servicepeople face.

We don't know who the military voted for, but we do know who the military donated to more, and that was President Obama.

US Army: Summary | OpenSecrets
U.S. Army, donations by individuals
$259K Obama
$175K Romney
$114K Paul

US Navy: Summary | OpenSecrets
U.S. Navy
$152K Obama
$95K Romney
$92K Paul

US Air Force: Summary | OpenSecrets
U.S. Air Force
$108K Obama
$107K Romney
$90K Paul

Yep, the Air Force is the wingnuttiest of the branches, but we all knew that.

What were your ASVAB scores? Not good enough to get into the Air Force, huh?

Some of the funniest stuff I've read comes from the Duffel Blog. Heck - even some MSM outlets are starting to refer to it.
