Pentagon Accused of Failing to Send Absentee Ballots to Troops; Republican Lawmakers Demand Answers
Nov 3, 2024, 08:09 AM

Service members have complained that when they requested federal write-in absentee ballots, they were told their bases' stockpiles were depleted and had not been replenished, hindering their ability to vote while deployed. Three Republican congressmen have sent a letter to the Pentagon demanding answers, calling the situation a failure to support troops' voting rights. The lawmakers are urging immediate action to ensure that all service members are able to cast their votes before Election Day.
