And follow the recommendation of the Virginia Board of
Elections
Meet Fairfax Co. Registrar Rokey Suleman.
He has decided to reject absentee ballots from American soldiers
stationed overseas. In fact, some of the ballots he’s not
counting are those from military personnel serving in Iraq and
Afghanistan.
Mr. Suleman is using a technicality to throw out hundreds of our
brave soldier’s votes. Except that
Marc Ambinder reports that the Suleman is getting the
technicalities wrong.
Voter disenfranchisement in any form is wrong, but the fact that
some are actively seeking to take away the right to vote from the
very people that are fighting to defend this fundamental American
principal is deplorable.
Furthermore, Suleman is a partisan. He was the founder of
the Trumbull, OH Young Democrats. Earlier this year,
he ran, and lost, for the Ohio Democratic State Central
Committee.
Watch him explain himself:
His response- “It stinks, but it’s the law.” A more accurate
response is- “It is voter disenfranchisement, and that stinks”
Tell Rokey Suleman to honor our American soldiers and count
their votes.
