Republicans Demand Action for Military Voting Rights
Submitted by MAGA
Posted 1 day ago
**Outrage** is brewing among Republican lawmakers over critical voting issues affecting U.S. military personnel stationed overseas.
In a scathing statement, Representatives Brian Mast (FL-R), Bill Huizenga (MI-R), and Michael Waltz (FL-R) have raised alarms regarding the Department of Defense's failure to ensure that our military heroes have access to essential voting resources.
As the election approaches, a disturbing report reveals that military bases are running low on write-in absentee ballots due to delayed mail-in ballots, leaving many service members without a practical way to cast their votes.
Rep. Mast highlighted the hypocrisy of the Biden administration, accusing President Biden and Vice President Harris of mobilizing federal resources to block state-level election integrity measures while neglecting the voting needs of our armed forces.
"These brave men and women deserve every opportunity to vote for the next commander-in-chief, especially since that person will be making life-and-death decisions for our troops,” he asserted.
Rep. Waltz echoed these sentiments, pointing out that the administration's negligence is a glaring disregard for the troops serving in active combat zones.
“The Biden-Harris administration has dismissed our warfighters, either by falsely claiming no casualties or suggesting that they aren’t in active zones,” said Waltz, calling for assurances that service members will have the necessary tools to exercise their voting rights.
Further compounding the issue is the reported lack of voter registration information at various military installations. Some units have run out of federal write-in absentee ballots entirely, prompting calls for immediate action from Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.
As frustrations mount, Representative Paulina Luna demanded transparency and accountability from the Pentagon on this critical matter.
“Our military puts everything on the line for us, yet their right to vote is being ignored. Secretary Austin, we demand answers and action to ensure they can vote without further delay,” she declared.
The situation has drawn attention from election integrity advocates, including Harmeet Dhillon, who emphasized the importance of military families navigating the voting process and ensuring they can cast their ballots.
While it is essential that our soldiers overseas can participate in elections, the dramatic increase in Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA) ballots this year raises eyebrows. Former Trump spokesperson Liz Harrington has warned that the ballots are already surpassing the totals seen in the 2020 election, prompting concerns about potential electoral mischief.
The Republican lawmakers have taken a stand, sending a letter to Secretary Austin demanding clarity and action on the Pentagon's voter preparedness. They seek answers regarding voting assistance programs, absentee ballot availability, and how the military intends to equip every service member with the resources needed to vote.
In these contentious times, ensuring that our service members can express their voices at the ballot box is essential. As the nation approaches another pivotal election, the calls for action resonate louder than ever. Our military deserves our support, and it is critical that every effort is made to guarantee their participation in shaping the country's future.
