Voter suppression outrage redux: Military absentee ballots still missing

As Twitchy reported last month, Wisconsin was failing to send out military absentee ballots and numbers were down across-the-board in battleground states.
Unreal. What a way to thank our brave soldiers for their incredible service to this country. Go fight for us, and for freedom, but forget about that pesky fundamental right to vote. Voting? Military need not apply.
Outrageously, this continues.

Unbelievable!
#WhyImNotVotingForObama Many deployed military are disenfranchised voters. No ballots, incorrect ballots, lost ballots. #disgusting

UNACCEPTABLE!!! Thousands of ballots unlikely to reach military voters. Read @johncornyn ‘s letter to DoD: 1.usa.gov/R99Zy9 #tcot

As we said before, our finest and bravest are being disenfranchised under Obama’s watch. This is more than a shameful disgrace.
This is an outrage.
