Military Absentee Ballots Delivered One Day Late, Would Have Swung Election For Romney

WASHINGTON, DC – Sources confirmed today that hundreds of thousands of military absentee ballots were delivered hours after the deadline for them to be counted, with preliminary counts showing that they would have overturned the vote in several states and brought a victory for Governor Mitt Romney.

Officials say the ballots were delivered late due to problems within the military mail system. Tracking invoices show the ballots sat in a warehouse for a month, then they were accidentally labeled as ammunition and shipped to Afghanistan. At Camp Dwyer, Marine Sergeant John Davis signed for them and was surprised at the contents.

“I told Gunny we got a bunch of ballots instead of ammo,” Davis told investigators earlier today. “He told me to file a report of improper delivery and that the chain of command would take care of it. We didn’t hear anything for three weeks. While we were waiting we came under fire so we dumped a bunch of them in the Hescoes. We didn’t dig those ones back out.”

After military officials realized the initial error, the ballots were then sent back to the U.S. but suffered a series of setbacks.

Twelve boxes of ballots were dropped overboard during delivery to the USS Kearsarge (LHD-3) in the Persian Gulf, then while the ship sailed to Bahrain, postal clerks allegedly pocketed whatever ballots they wanted.

The remaining absentee ballots were loaded onto a C-130, but the flight was delayed until November 1st so the crew could get tax free pay for the month. Once the ballots arrived stateside they were promptly mailed to each state’s counting facility, reaching their final destination on November 7th.

“It’s a shame,” Rear Admiral John Dawes said when asked for comment. “I expected a delay so I ordered that everyone cast their votes eight months ago. It’s really unfortunate that our mail system failed us and directly affected the course of history.”

Upon hearing the news, angry Republicans have begun a demand for a recount, but most military absentee voters have shrugged off the news, with many wondering whether the care packages their families sent six months ago were ever going to show

I gotta hand it to the Dem Party Machine - it's head and shoulders foxier than the folks in checked golf pants. The pubbies are clueless and out-matched by the heavy weight Chicago political mobsters.

Even having the military cast their votes EIGHT MONTHS AHEAD of the election does not deter the machinations of the likes of Axelrod and Jarrett. It's like stealing candy from babies for the mob.

Right, but the fact remains that no votes were counted at all. Not one. Obama was the selection all along.

Assuming that voting counted (which is pretty effin' naive), there is no reason to believe that military votes would be any different than the general public's 50:50 split, given the military's high percentage of minorities.

The purpose of this story is to keep the wound open and the red sheepsters fighting the blue sheepsters rather than the people being united against the PTB intent on destroying the country.

Divide and conquer. Easy-peasy.

Maybe I'd be outraged were it not for the GOP rigging the convention against RP. Maybe.

Don't blame me. I didn't vote.

Surprisingly going by race representation of military veterans, 70% are white males and only 15% are minorities.

www.va.gov/vetdata/docs/q.../Population-slideshow.pdf

In terms of racial makeup of recent new recruits, 2007/2007 white males still the significant majority @65+% and Blacks were 12+%. Hispanics were under represented compared to their % of the general population...cough, cough....

Since Romney won the votes of white males by a significant margin over Bammy, it's reasonable to expect that Romney would have cashed in big time with military majority white male voters...if their votes had arrived in time.

The report of delayed military ballots, available only from Duffel, was a hoax cooked up by Duffel.

Leaving 30% minorities/women, which to me, is a high percentage (though not a majority), and primarily Obama voters. Of the whites, it's safe to assume that their voting would be similar to the voting of the general population, though skewed more toward the repugnicans. I'd guess about 6:4.

By the end of the day, the total vote would probably be split pretty evenly between Obomney and Robama, if voting counted.

On its face this story sounds a bit far fetched. The "official" vote count, for what its worth, wasn't particularly close, except perhaps Florida, which O didn't need.

being one day late does not invalidate their votes.

Their votes count. If anyone says otherwise .... Slap em.
