Republican House lawmakers are demanding answers from the Pentagon over why some active duty military members have not received absentee ballots to vote in the 2024 election.
In a letter to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin from Reps. Brian Mast (R-FL), Bill Huizenga (R-MI), and Mike Waltz (R-FL), the congressmen express “grave concern over deficiencies in the Defense Department’s protocols” for the armed forces, saying that the stockpile of absentee ballots has been “depleted and had not been replenished.”
“Joe Biden & Kamala Harris are failing to facilitate the right to vote for our men and women in uniform,” Rep. Mast said in a post to X, sharing a copy of the letter. “I’m calling on the Pentagon to mobilize every resource necessary so our nation’s elite warriors don’t miss out on voting for the next commander-in-chief.”
