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.

    @hannityshow @seanhannity. My son is active military. He applied for absentee ballot a month ago from WI. He still did not receive it.

    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.

disenfranchising one of the groups that have, without cavil, earned the right to the franchise.  How disgraceful.
