Why can’t Wisconsin give military personnel the equal protection to vote? Why does Mitt Romney need to get this done? Where was Gov. Walker? Where was/ is WDOJ’s J B Van Hollen?
Romney campaign files federal suit to ensure all military ballots count in Wisconsin

Political ReporterRepublican presidential nominee Mitt Romney’s campaign has filed a federal lawsuit in Wisconsin to extend the amount of time military and overseas absentee ballots can be returned.
The federal suit came on the heels a campaign request to the state’s Government Accountability Board to extend the deadline after at least 30 Wisconsin municipalities failed to send overseas ballots 45 days before the election, which is required under the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voter Act (UOCAVA). The campaign proceeded with the suit against GAB after their initial request was denied.
Williams said that Wisconsin has been a “serial offender” when it comes to ensuring overseas personnel receive their ballots on time, noting that this is the third time in two years that the state has had issues with military ballots.

It would seem the partisan democrat filled Wisconsin GAB has a track record of not letting the military vote in time for elections.
Gov. Walker needs to dismantle the GAB and bring integrity back to Wisconsin elections.
