Dems have always fucked with absentee ballots
Experienced it first hand on active duty
Romney will "call" this asswipe Obama on it in the debates.
Active duty / retired - we don't need four more years of this "Commander In Chump"
This has NOTHING to do with absentee ballots. UOCAVA voters are still covered under the Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment (MOVE) Act (signed into law by DEMOCRAT President Barack Obama) which requires ballots be mailed 45 days before the election...AND requires that these voters can receive their ballots electronically.
This is about Republicans in Ohio wanting to take away in-person early voting away from all Ohio voters, with the exception being for Active Duty military. The DOJ wants the early voting restored for ALL Ohioans. (Which would include, I might add, over 900,000 military veterans.
While we are on the subject, (uber liberal) California has had laws for UOCAVA voters that go further than the MOVE Act calls for. We've had electronic delivery of ballots for many years and we send our ballots to UOCAVA voters 60 days in advance of the Election. Voters must return their ballots by fax or by mail. I'm not aware of any state which accepts ballots electronically.
