“service members also stated that when a request for a federal write-in absentee ballot was made, they were told the base’s stockpile of such ballots was depleted and had not been replenished.”
Why? Because Military members vote overwhelmingly Republican.
There are two words to describe this, disgusting and despicable. Sadly it appears the Pentagon, meaning the Biden-Harris administration views our men and women in uniform deployed are garbage and don’t deserve their right to vote. #election #elections https://t.co/LmE67TXY8C

The Democrats are registering “overseas residents” to register and vote in elections without proper identification. But the military members were denied their right to vote.
Democrats are registering illegals to vote but those fighting and dying for this country are robbed of their most basic right. These destroyers are printing innumerable duplicate, multiple, illegal mail in ballots who but the Pentagon claims their stockpile of ballots is depleted. Absolute tyranny.
Republican lawmakers are demanding answers from the Pentagon after receiving complaints about inadequate resources to help military service members vote.
Active duty service members claim the Pentagon has not allocated enough resources to let them cast their ballot on time and that the stockpile of write-in absentee ballots on at least one military base is depleted and has not been replenished, according to three GOP congressmen.
Rep. Brian Mast, R-Fla., Rep. Bill Huizenga, R-Mich. and Mike Waltz, R-Fla., penned a letter to Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin on Wednesday, writing “with grave concern” about “deficiencies in the Defense Department’s protocols,” which also includes not making service members aware of their options on how to vote.
“Our nation’s brave men and women in uniform brought to our attention that there has been inadequate education at the administrative level on how to register to vote, request an absentee ballot, and fill in a federal write-in absentee ballot if their state-issued ballot does not arrive in time,” the lawmakers write.
“Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have mobilized federal manpower, resources, and tax dollars to block state-level election integrity measures, including in Georgia and Virginia, through lawsuits and smears,” Mast, a military veteran who lost both his legs while serving in Afghanistan in 2010, tells Fox News Digital.
“They claim to care about democracy and the right to vote, yet they’ve failed to plan accordingly to facilitate the right to vote for every single one of our nation’s brave men and women in uniform. This is absolutely unacceptable. Our nation’s elite warriors deserve to have every opportunity to vote for the next commander-in-chief, especially since that person will be making life-and-death decisions for our troops.”
A judge rejected a GOP lawsuit trying to stop PA from issuing absentee ballots to people overseas who failed to provide ID that proves they're citizens who live in the state. So far, 32k ballots have been requested, and only 6k are for military members. So, Iran can vote in PA. pic.twitter.com/mO7bWMy5iB

The Department of Defense is now DIRECTLY involved with ELECTION INTERFERENCE. ???
Apparently, DoD did NOT bother to issue absentee ballots to service members stationed overseas.
Because they KNOW MOST of the Military will vote for @realDonaldTrump.

The Pentagon Fails to Send Absentee Ballots to Active Military Service Members
By: Sarah Arnold | Townhall November 02, 2024:
Republican lawmakers demand answers from the Pentagon after military service members complained that they have not received enough absentee ballots to vote before Election Day.
GOP Reps. Brian Mast (R-FL), Bill Huizenga (R-MI), and Mike Waltz (R-FL) sent a letter to Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin citing their “grave concern over deficiencies in the Defense Department’s protocols” for the U.S. military because they said the absentee ballot stockpile has been “depleted and had not been replenished.”
“Our nation’s brave men and women in uniform brought to our attention that there has been inadequate education at the administrative level on how to register to vote, request an absentee ballot, and fill in a federal write-in absentee ballot if their state-issued ballot does not arrive in time,” the letter reads. “Other service members also stated that when a request for a federal write-in absentee ballot was made, they were told the base’s stockpile of such ballots was depleted and had not been replenished.”
The lawmakers also wrote that the Pentagon offered “inadequate education” on how service members can vote while deployed.
The Republicans demanded that the Pentagon take extraordinary measures to ensure that the nation’s “elite warriors” have an opportunity to cast their vote in the upcoming election. However, with only three days until Election Day, lawmakers fear the government has not yet taken action.
Mast called it unacceptable that the Biden-Harris Administration took no further steps to consider the country’s service members, and instead, it was an afterthought.
“Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have mobilized federal manpower, resources, and tax dollars to block state-level election integrity measures, including in Georgia and Virginia, through lawsuits and smears,” Mast said in a press release. “They claim to care about democracy and the right to vote, yet they’ve failed to plan accordingly to facilitate the right to vote for every single one of our nation’s brave men and women in uniform. Our nation’s elite warriors deserve to have every opportunity to vote for the next commander-in-chief, especially since that person will be making life-and-death decisions for our troops.”
The incident comes after President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have refused to acknowledge that U.S. military members are serving overseas in combat. During a debate, Harris claimed that no active service members were on the battlefield.
