Comments on: You Don’t Do This To Your Troops https://whynow.dumka.us/2018/11/01/you-dont-do-this-to-your-troops/ On-line Opinion Magazine...OK, it's a blog Sun, 04 Nov 2018 21:41:18 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Bryan https://whynow.dumka.us/2018/11/01/you-dont-do-this-to-your-troops/comment-page-1/#comment-88098 Sun, 04 Nov 2018 21:41:18 +0000 http://whynow.dumka.us/?p=42306#comment-88098 Troops vote at higher rates than regular citizens, but a deployment this close to the election will screw things up. Many people will vote at their “permanent address” [usually their parents’ address when they enter the service] by absentee ballot. They are probably OK. The troops that choose to register and vote locally may have a problem getting an absentee ballot or getting to an early voting location. Usually it is the more senior people who are setting down roots who vote locally, and they tend to be Republicans, which someone in the Republican Party should be aware of.

But here if one is deployed during an election, Military personnel can register their vote to be mailed in by their command at the appropriate time.

How does it work in the USA? And what is the expectation that deployed personnel will bother anyway?
