Obama Justice Dept. Denies Military Vote, Blames GOP
Written By : Warner Todd Huston

The head of the Obama Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, Tom Perez, admitted this week that he has no real intention of trying to assure that members of our military are afforded their right to vote, and will not attempt in a timely fashion to enforce the MOVE Act (Military and Overseas Voter Empower Act) intended to make sure that our soldiers get their ballots with time enough to return them so that they can be counted on election day.

Perez made a very weak pledge that the Dept. of Justice would, “continue to vigilantly enforce [the] law” to make sure the military votes are counted, but he made it clear that all he is prepared to do is sue states long after the November 2 elections are over. In other words, Perez is saying that the DOJ will sue states after the election, long after the votes go uncounted and our soldier’s votes are essentially taken away from them.

It is a typical, Democrat bait-and-switch operation. Perez is putting on airs, acting as if he’s is seriously trying to enforce the law, but his actions will come too late, hitting after that “enforcement” will do any good at all.

Then Perez outrageously tried to blame the Illinois GOP for being the ones acting in bad faith.

Earlier this month when it was discovered that many counties in the Land of Lincoln had not bothered to send out the ballots on time to soldiers overseas, the Illinois GOP filed a suit to try and give the soldier’s more time to get their ballots back. Perez scolded that this effort to assure that our soldier’s votes counted was an evil “quite literally unprecedented in our nation’s history.”

So, according to Perez, Democrats not sending out ballots to the military is nothing to get all excited about, but the GOPs effort to give the military a few days more to get their votes mailed back in is a crime beyond the pale?

Worse, the partisan Perez tried to claim that the GOP was trying to steal the election.

Perez said such sentiments amount to, “I want to wait and see who won, and then I’ll cast my ballot” or “I want to wait and see if it’s a close election, and then I’ll cast my ballot.” He said Republicans in Illinois sought “a new paradigm” that is not even legal.

Perez is an Obama appointee and his nomination was held up in the Senate during the controversy over Obama’s dismissal of the voter intimidation perpetrated by thug members of the New Black Panthers in 2008. Perez is also a big supporter of “rights” for illegal aliens.

This is the sort of disenfranchisement of our military and subsequent support for those who have neither been born here nor earned the right to vote that the Obama administration has tried to pursue.

Remember this on Tuesday, won’t you?

    A fish rots from the head down. There has been a pattern of politicization in the Holder Justice Department that eclipses anything the Gonzalez Justice Department was even accused of. Put simply, Eric Holder needs to be impeached.

      Holder does, but he won’t. The GOP would need an overwhelming majority, have all of its members go along with it, and get some Dems on board. Still, the first Dem that sides with the GOP against Holder, Obama, and the rest could position himself well for a primary challenge against Obama in 2012.

        GOP has used it for campaign rhetoric as far back as I remember – but a GOP Majority in Congress was a DO NOTHING ABOUT IT congress.

        Maybe with the Tea Party breathing down their necks…
        But I won’t be holding MY breath. We will have to do some boot-stompin’-walkin’, fer sure!

        Nancy Sinatra boot-walkin’ all over Congress.

        This is without excuse.

      Our soldiers were being mal-treated in 2000, as well, and as far back as the end of the Reagan Administration, that I am aware of.

      Makes no sense it STARTED some long decades after Vietnam, though, so, I’m guessing – all MY life – 59 years and counting…

    There really, really, really needs to be a total house-cleaning of people who think as this a$$ hat thinks. Even Democrats get upset when they hear people drooling this partisan political diatribe when our all-volunteer military is denied the basic Right to vote. The constant failure to enforce federal law SHOULD get them removed from the DOJ.

    As a veteran, this makes me sick. Dems are blatantly disenfranchising our soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines. Because they know the military is overwhelmingly Republican. The worst part is that they will never be held to account. Oh, sure, politicians will make a big stink about it. But will those responsible ever face any real penalties? No, they won’t. Life will go on. The Dems will continue to do their best to steal elections and the Republicans will meekly chide them and then proceed to sit on their hands. And the pundits wonder why people have little faith in government.

    Well you know… the military votes 70% or greater for Republicans, and that simply cannot be allowed. You have to sympathize with the states though. It was such a short time to prepare for the mailings, they only had TWO FREAKING YEARS to prepare.

    • guest

      not really two years. the candidates hadnt even sign up to be on the ballot at that time. (i know you weren’t being literal there but I just wanted to say)

    Ready to make a change? No surprise here when it comes to Obama or even the democratic party tricks. Great article but scary.

    Need to read a book just out that’s a must read cause it’s about each of us & taking a stand. These Americans stand up to federal tyranny so it makes it a must read for all of us.

    http://www.booksbyoliver.com

    Pundits are saying that “ONLY” 90% of congress will win re-election this yr. compared to 98% in previous elections. So, is anything really going to change? It’s us that need to change & stand up.

  • Rose

    One thing we could not get the last Majority GOP Congress to do was to improve things for our troops and our Veterans.

    Hope they take that task more seriously, this time.
    There is NO excuse on the planet for the “negligence”.

    I know that my father as a retired Air Force man, and Vietnam Vet is rolling over in his grave over this crap.

    well let’s see here, the left is making sure that those in prison get their ballots hand delivered, they are fight like hell to get the illegals the right to vote (but for democrats only I am sure), the New Black Panthers will be out again this year “monitoring” polling places I am sure they will have their clubs at the ready you know after all they “only are there to insure the election is fair and all votes are counted” yeah the state run media go for that line in a heart beat without question. The left is make sure that states like Arizona are unable to enforce federal immigration law (meaning more votes for democrats). But making sure the men and women fighting and dieing to protect freedom get their ballots on time and are properly counted no, no, no the left can not and will not let that happen the left openly going way out of their way to steal this election their buddies in the state run media are doing their best to cover for them and/or look the other way. We all see what the left is doing before our eyes, and the left knows most Americans reject the march to socialism they are leading us on to, but the left does not care what we Americans think, because in their eyes we are all dumb serfs and they the left are much smarter then us and only they know what is best for us. We conservative on November 2nd need to get out and vote in massive numbers, we know left is and be will be doing everything they can to hold on to power remember to the left the ends justify any and they mean any means possible. People get out and vote this may be our last shot to save this country.

    I’m currently serving somewhere in the Sahara Desert, and seeing the absentee ballot stunts being pulled in the Dem-infested districts makes my blood boil. There’s a special place in hell reserved for those walking piles of maggot droppings that are pulling that cheap stunt and spitting on those of us in harm’s way!!

    To our leftwing trolls/lurkers: this is what systemic voter fraud looks like.

    Not having a cop car drive within 10 miles of a voting place. But intentionally denying the right to vote to hundreds of thousands of people because they tend to support the opposition.

    I don’t expect yall will condemn this or even see a problem with it, so long as no one infringes on the ‘right’ of corpses, illegal aliens and felons to vote you will be happy. But keep it in mind.
