Investors Business Daily on NY military voting mess

"N.Y. to GIs: No Votes For You" at IBD.   A portion:

This is the type of unresponsive and uncaring government that gave rise to the Tea Party.

If these were minority voters in the Deep South who tend to vote Democrat, and if the law being violated was the Voting Rights Act of 1965, would DOJ's pace have been quicker? We hesitate to wonder if the fact that military voters of all colors and genders tend to vote about 3-to-1 Republican is the reason DOJ has been dragging its feet.

"The gravity of New York's failure cannot be overestimated," says Eric Eversole, a former Justice Department voting section attorney who recently started a nonprofit organization, the Military Voter Protection Project, to protect military voting rights. "With approximately 50,000 military and overseas voters in New York City alone, there is no doubt that the November elections could be altered by this failure."
