Most readers are aware that the Obama campaign has sued to
stop an Ohio three-day early voting preference to those serving in the
military. What may shock is that
I’ll concede the Democrats may have a legal point, at least, on this one. Here and here give more details.
Given repeated past Democrat attempts to disenfranchise troops,
I am most certainly not inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt on this,
however.
But, instead of my frequent focus on the pure evil of
Democrats, I want to focus on their pure stupidity, namely the political impact
of this lawsuit.
It cannot be good for Obama, particularly in Ohio. It is bad politics to make it the least
bit more difficult for troops to cast their ballots (which is why Democrat
attempts to do so usually occur after
Election Day in very close races, Florida 2000 being the most infamous
example).
Combine that with Obama’s Department of Justice suing to
stop voter ID, and the optics are awful.
Obama and his men quibble with cutting the troops some slack on voting
deadlines while at the same time willfully enabling vote fraud. Wow. Even if he does succeed in doctoring the election in this
manner, the votes he is losing could easily be much greater.
I think the political impact of this could become so bad
that it will cost Obama Ohio. And
given the importance of that swing state (not to mention pro-military votes
elsewhere), that could end up being the election.
At the very least, this is something to watch.
