In the final weeks before Election Day, Republican groups have filed lawsuits in the swing states of Michigan, North Carolina and Pennsylvania that challenge the validity of ballots cast by U.S. citizens living abroad, including members of the U.S. military.

    It matters when they need the military to pull it off.

    Which they do.

    So pissing them off isn’t the best idea.

      Will they get “pissed off” by this though? Reality has demonstrated time and again that the people actually being wronged don’t particularly care about being wronged, as long as it’s part of their leader’s “strategy.”

        I don’t know that there’s a reality where their votes haven’t been counted before.

        That’s enough to make a lot of people think, “what exactly am I protecting?” Especially the enlisted.

      I’m guessing the ones they are targeting are the ones who are registered democrats, since that information is easily obtainable.

      Also guessing that republicans outnumber democrats in the military ~3.5:1
