We found them. The disenfranchised voters we've been hearing so much about but that the Democrats can't find.

"Few organizations are as skilled at spending billions of dollars while accomplishing little as the federal government is. The Obama administration’s failure to protect military voters demonstrates this — across America, ballots have failed to mail on time to overseas service members. It is a mistake that keeps repeating (http://pjmedia.com/blog/dojs-military-voting-mess-continues-post-election-but-congress-now-paying-attention/) every two years, and Americans should demand it never happens again."

But, how can this be. The Congress passed a law. Oh, wait, a law has to be enforced, doesn't it, and President Obama doesn't enforce laws that he, the King, doesn't like.

"Sadly, multiple states failed to send military ballots by the September 22 deadline established by federal law. In the subsequent 26 days, his Justice Department filed precisely one lawsuit (http://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/2012/October/12-crt-1233.html) against offending states and counties to protect military voters."

"But DOJ’s abdication of effective enforcement is so bad that Michigan Secretary of State Ruth Johnson sued her own counties (http://www.michigan.gov/som/0,4669,7-192-29938_61601-288203--,00.html) to stop disenfranchisement, because the DOJ would not."

""The Pentagon deserves even stronger criticism. An entire unit inside the Pentagon is tasked with helping service members vote — the Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP). Naturally, FVAP is also failing to deliver.Consider the bipartisan MOVE Act, passed in 2009. It required FVAP to open up voting assistance offices on every military installation worldwide. A recent DOD Inspector General report (http://www.dodig.mil/SPO/Reports/DODIG-2012-123.pdf) found that less than half of the mandated offices are actually open. To achieve this fail, the Pentagon blew through $75,000,000 that Congress allocated for the opening of the offices."

I guess President Obama's socialist cronies being sent by the UN to see if we're disenfranchising voters can stay home. We've found them. And, they aren't poor, ignorant, irresponsible Democrats. No, they're American servicemen. You know, the ones liberals don't like or think should vote.

Since this happens every two years, it's no big surprise.
