OH, ISN'T THIS CHOICE?  ANOTHER SELF-INFLICTED WOUND FOR THE LEFT – AT 12:22 P.M. ET:    What are the fools up to now?  Why, trying to restrict military voting, that's what.  I guess this has great appeal to the Hamas wing of the Democratic Party.  From The Washington Times:

DENVER — After years of accusing states of “voter suppression,” the Center for American Progress wants to make it tougher for overseas military to vote in the name of election security.

The left-wing public-policy group issued Monday a report, “Election Security in All 50 States,” that called for stricter standards to prevent cyber-meddling in elections by foreign governments, including banning military stationed abroad from submitting ballots via email or fax.

One state that allows such vote-casting is Colorado. The center called on the state to “prohibit voters stationed or living overseas from returning voted ballots electronically.”

“Regardless of the state’s secure ballot return system for electronically voted ballots, we recommend that all voted ballots be returned by mail or delivered in person,” said the 245-page report.

Colorado Secretary of State Wayne Williams defended the practice, saying the state has incorporated safeguards to protect the integrity of ballots cast by military personnel living overseas.

“They don’t believe someone who works on a submarine should be allowed to vote. We do,” said the Republican Williams in a statement.

Conservatives were quick to blast the report’s recommendation as unworkable and politically motivated.

“Perhaps they think that Navy SEALS can swim ballots ashore, hand them off to Army paratroopers who can parachute into Colorado to drop off the ballots?” asked the conservative website Colorado Peak Politics.

COMMENTS:  The Center for American Progress is backed by the very same folks who oppose voter I.D. programs,those common-sense procedures for avoiding voter fraud.  They're the same wonderful guys who deny there's any problem with fraud in our big cities, even though we've seen cases of more people voting in a precinct than live there. 

Now they're going after the troops.  Smart move.  GOP ad planners please note.
