Military Absentee Ballots Lost in Plane Crash
TALLAHASSEE, Fla.
Federal officials say that absentee ballots being sent to U.S. military serving in Afghanistan may have been burned in a plane crash.
A top official in the Federal Voting Assistance Program this week notified election officials across the nation that a transport plane crashed at Shindad Air Base on Oct. 19.
The crash resulted in the destruction of 4,700 pounds of mail inbound to troops serving in the area.
Federal officials in their email to state election offices said they did not know if any ballots were destroyed. They also said the lost mail was limited to one zip code.
But they recommended that election officials resend a new ballot to anyone who requested one since the first ballot may have been destroyed in the crash and fire.
LinkLaws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.” (Jefferson's "Commonplace Book," 1774-1776, quoting from On Crimes and Punishment, by criminologist Cesare Beccaria, 1764)

We aren't talking conspiracy dude. We are saying that both the D's and R's are laughing all the way to the bank.

That would be because quite a bit of the younger population is online. We have been at war for as long and longer than most of the young people have been alive. It has desensitized the people to the deaths of our soldiers. This is what happens when you have a nation hell-bent on global imperialism and control. It is quite sad though.

I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.
