On July 30, 2010, the DOJ Voting Section military voting webpage  was finally finally updated and the first mention of the new MOVE Act appeared.  This law, signed October 28, 2009, protects military and overseas voters by requiring states to send ballots to them at least 45 days in advance.  The website states: " in most cases by the 45th day before the election" a military voter is entitled to have a ballot sent.  Question- which "cases" are they NOT entitled to have one sent 45 days before the election?  In a state that obtains a waiver?  How many states have received one?  

Prior to July 30, 2010, the Voting Section webpage had out of date information for military voters, listing the old 30 day standard. This obsolete information was all that was available from October 28, 2009 through July 29, 2010.   Perhaps Senator Cornyn has made a difference already.

I will be talking about the 274 days it took for the DOJ to update their website on Fox and Friends Saturday.

UPDATE:  Another portion of the webpage states: states must "transmit vaildly-requested absentee ballots to UOCAVA voters no later than 45 days before an election for a federal office, when the request has been received by that date, except where an undoe [SIC] hardship waiver is approved by the Department of Defense for that election."  It would seem that the "in most cases" seems to presume that some states will be granted a waiver.  For the sake of the troops, lets hope that those wishing for waivers to be granted are disappointed.  Some appear to assume those waivers are on the way.
