My biggest problem with voting while in the military, especially while deployed, was the fact that I was so distant from the candidates and the issues, totally in the dark about them unless I made a real effort to have people send me hometown news

Thats a Point that was made quite clear in 2000 and in other elections... specially with the Election of al Franken... where the Military Absentee votes were omitted or delated so he could get elected the first time and they were never opened the second time...

Years ago, most of us didn't have access to all the material to check out the political candidates because of the limited technology, along with no one pushing you to do so, Once I left the military, I took notice and became quite active in the election processes.

I have never really worried about my vote being counted. Naïve maybe- but I place some faith in the system. This is a valid string though CPT Jack Durish
