update on disenfranchisement of the military (from the corner):

DON'T COUNT EVERY VOTE [Jonathan H. Adler]
Chris Lilik notes an important story on Battlegrounders. Pennsylvania Republicans believe Governor Ed Rendell is trying to suppress Republican votes and disenfranchise servicemen overseas. During the primaries, Governor Rendell called for extending the deadline for overseas absentee ballots by three weeks because not every county mailed its ballots on time. Due to litigation over Nader ballot-access, at least two counties failed to mail their ballots on time for the general election. Yet Governor Rendell now opposes extending the deadline. Is it any wonder that Republicans believe Rendell, the former head of the DNC, is trying to disenfranchise military voters?

this is so slimey (and, unfortunately, predictable) that it needs no editorial comment.

but a brief one anyway: maybe this is what desparation drives you to...this, and the 380 tons of non-story that the new york times and the kerry campaign (oh, and don't forget--CBS was implicated, too) can't seem to get over. i guess the moral of that particular story (and the mindset of much of the left) is, when the things you're shouting aren't true and people might be starting to catch on, just shout louder.
