From Middletown Journal:
A local state senator is pushing for changes that would allow American servicemen more time to cast election ballots.
Sen. Jon Husted, R-Kettering, is sponsoring Senate Concurrent Resolution 21 urging speedy congressional action on the Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment Action, which would address overseas voting problems. It also would help other Americans living overseas.
“Current voting procedures, both at the state and federal level, fail to recognize the unique logistical and geographic challenges that dedicated men and women in our armed forces and other Americans living overseas face in order to exercise their right to vote,” Husted said in a press release on Friday, Oct. 9.
