A senior Pentagon official said Tuesday that the problems experienced by service members trying to vote by absentee ballot can only be resolved by using the Internet — but that won’t be possible in time for the fall elections.

Michael Dominguez, principal deputy under secretary of defense for personnel and readiness, told a House Administration Committee that electronic voting for service members is a long-term solution to the difficulty of voting by mail.

“It is not going to be available for the 2008 elections, obviously, but there is no reason it cannot be available for the next general election,” Dominguez said.

The administration committee, chaired by Rep. Robert Brady, D-Pa., appears divided about whether electronic voting is the answer.

Rep. Daniel Lungren, R-Calif., said he does not object to using the Internet to deliver blank absentee ballots and other election materials to service members, but he has “a problem with going to Internet voting.”

Well, they may see this as a little glitch BUT I see it as a denial of civil rights

and the military KNOWS that a majority of the 'STOP-LOSSED' want to come home

and also vote Democratic!! ~~~~~~~ So, what are we going to do about this? :grr:

Kudo's to HappyCamper. :hug:

1. Link doesn't work!
I'd really like to see this story. Did they take down the link, or is this just a typo or server down?
