Yes, ladies and gentlemen, you read that right. This is the same man whose minions are fighting against ids being required for voting (because, I would  guess it stops illegal aliens from voting for this monster). Now he has decided  he doesn't want our military to get special accommodation for voting to make it
easier for them to vote....................isn't that called voter suppression?  That's what I would call it, but himself knows that the military vote leans in favor of conservatives and folks who support our military and certainly, Obama  couldn't be accused of that, now could he?

The Romney camp on Saturday moved quickly to cast the Obama campaign’s voting rights lawsuit in Ohio as anti-military.

The  Obama campaign and the Democratic National Committee this week filed a  lawsuit to block a new Ohio law that expands early voting rights for  service members, allowing military members to vote up until the Monday  before the election — three days longer than is allowed for the rest of  the public.

In the lawsuit, Democrats contend it’s unfair to  extend time to vote for one group without extending the privilege for  all groups, but Republicans have slammed the lawsuit as anti-military.

Mitt Romney on Saturday called the Obama lawsuit an “outrage.”

“The  brave men and women of our military make tremendous sacrifices to  protect and defend our freedoms, and we should do everything we can to  protect their fundamental right to vote,” the presumptive Republican  candidate said on his campaign’s Facebook page.

“I stand with the 15  military groups that are defending the rights of military voters, and if  I’m entrusted to be the commander-in-chief, I’ll work to protect the  voting rights of our military, not undermine them,” he said.

Obama campaign officials told Fox News the lawsuit in no way tries to restrict the voting rights of military members.

“Along  with the DNC and Ohio Democratic Party, this campaign filed a lawsuit  to reinstate equal, early-voting rights for all Ohioans — rights the  Republican-controlled legislature arbitrarily stripped away this past  year,” Jim Messina, Obama’s campaign manager, said in an email to  supporters.

The National Guard Association of the United States,  AMVETS (American Veterans), the Association of the U.S. Army and other  organizations asked a judge late Wednesday to dismiss the Obama lawsuit.

Democrats  are pushing back against voting rights measures adopted in states  around the country by Republican-controlled legislatures. Democrats  contend the voter ID laws and other restrictions or requirements are  designed to suppress minority turnout.

There’s a lot at stake: A  Romney edge among military personnel combined with a lower turnout among  traditionally Democratic constituencies could be the difference in  swing-state Ohio, where 18 electoral votes are at stake and the final  margin is likely to be razor thin.
