Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., put out a statement saying the Garden State decision should be based on what is fair to the state's voters. Noting that thousands of people overseas have already received ballots bearing Torricelli's name and have cast their votes, he said "no voter, whether he or she voted by military ballot, absentee ballot, or in person on Election Day should be disenfranchised by a late change in the law or a change in procedure."I am gaining new found respect for Democratic Senator McCain. However, it still doesn't make up for his bill taking away my first amendment right, aka campaign finance reform, aka incumbant protection act of 2002.Saying that he supports reforms to make ballot access easier for candidates and voters and to promote voter participation, "if the laws that govern elections are unfair or inadequate, they should be changes," he said.
"But if candidates or parties violate those laws simply to improve their own election prospects, they are not working on behalf of voters, and should be held accountable."
The same Fox News story also points out that many overseas voters have already cast their ballot in the New Jersey election. It also notes that the state of New Jersey has halted the further distribution of absentee ballots. Once again, the Democrats fuck over the military, and hardly anyone cares.
