Former Capital police Chief tells Pelosi that its time to be honest with the American people about Jan 6TH !

You have to request a ballot and provide proper identification to receive it.
Only on some states

I voted absentee while in the Army

Never had to provide ID
 
Former Capital Police Chief Steven Sund posted a reply to a recent post on X by Nancy Pelosi where Pelosi claimed that Trump sent the National Guard to DC recently to distract from his incompetence but refused to send the Guard to protect the Capital on Jan 6th 2020 .. The former Capital Police Chief quickly responded refudiating Pelosis claims and told her it was time to be Honest with the American people !

Pelosi's post on X ...
"Donald Trump delayed deploying the National Guard on January 6th when our Capitol was under violent attack and lives were at stake," Pelosi posted to X on Monday. "Now, he’s activating the DC Guard to distract from his incompetent mishandling of tariffs, health care, education and immigration — just to name a few blunders."



The Capital Police Chiefs reply ...
"Ma’am, it is long past time to be honest with the American people," he wrote in a lengthy post on X. "On January 3, I requested National Guard assistance, but your Sergeant at Arms denied it. Under federal law (2 U.S.C. 1970), I was prohibited from calling them in without specific approval. That same day, Carol Corbin at the Pentagon offered National Guard support, but I was forced to decline because I lacked the legal authority.



That doesnt make any sense. Trump.could have provided that legal authority, but he refused to do so.

So what she said is accurate.

He must have been drinking today.
 
How is it safer?
because an absentee ballot requires proof of who you are before you receive it ! mass mail outs of millions of ballots like we did during COVID required no proof of identity be for receipt ..

You have to identify yourself to get it sent via mail. And you have to be registered.

Special rules for service. Were you stateside?

Mail in ballots are only sent to registered voters and require you to identify yourself as well

did your state allow you to do that ? different states have different requirements for military absentee ballots .

yes, while a federal law sets the baseline for military absentee voting, states have their own specific rules and procedures.

The Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA) is a key federal law that protects the voting rights of:




  • Active-duty members of the uniformed services, the merchant marine, and their eligible family members.



  • U.S. citizens residing outside the United States.


UOCAVA requires all states to allow these individuals to register and vote by absentee ballot in federal elections. It establishes certain standards that all states must follow, such as:




  • Providing a Federal Post Card Application (FPCA) that serves as a combined voter registration and absentee ballot request form.



  • Accepting a Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot (FWAB) as a backup ballot if a voter doesn't receive their official ballot in time.



  • Sending ballots to UOCAVA voters at least 45 days before a federal election.



  • Notarization or paper/envelope type cannot be a reason to reject a ballot.


However, beyond these federal requirements, states have the authority to set their own rules for military and overseas absentee voting, which can include:

  • Deadlines: States set their own deadlines for voter registration and ballot return, which can vary from the deadlines for domestic absentee voters.



  • Electronic Options: While UOCAVA requires states to offer an electronic option for sending blank ballots (like email or a secure portal), states choose which electronic methods they will allow. Some states also allow electronic submission of voted ballots, while others do not.
  • State and Local Elections: While UOCAVA only applies to federal elections, most states have their own laws that extend the same absentee voting protections to military and overseas voters for state and local elections.



  • Specific Forms and Procedures: While the FPCA is a standardized form, some states may also have their own specific forms or require additional information.
