Obama just when you think He couldn't be a bigger pos.

Bullsh!t. The law didn't extend early voting for military. They had it before this law was passed. The difference is that so did everyone else. Before the law was passed, everyone could vote up to the day before election day. The law took away everyone's early voting rights except the military. For no good reason. Except for the fact that early voters tended to vote for Democrats. And it's no mystery how members of the military vote. In other words this is another despicable effort by the Republicans to disenfranchise voters because they apparently think they can't win in a fair election.
 
Where do you get the notion that "early voters tended to vote for Democrats"?

We do know that deceased voters tend to vote Democrat, as do fictional characters ("Micky Mouse" was registered in FL as a Dem, IIRC), non-citizens, etc.

If it is true that "early voters tended to vote for Democrats", are you sure they were legitimate votes and not illegitimate ones cast by organizations looking to undermine the democratic process through voter fraud (ACORN, Unions)?

The truth is that the Left has a huge problem with voter fraud and has a history of trying to disenfranchise military votes (2000 election) while making it easier for the lowest common denominator to vote (multiple times if possible) and is the ONLY party looking to actually avoid any checks on voting legitimacy against the preferences of the majority of the country (see Voter ID laws).
 
Oh, as to the notion that, "The law took away everyone's early voting rights except the military. For no good reason [except for the reason you want to falsely attribute to them]", did you actually read the original article? Because it does given a reason for the law.
Currently, Ohio allows the public to vote early in-person up until the Friday before the election. Members of the military are given three extra days to do so. While the Democrats may see this as "arbitrary" and having "no discernible rational basis," I think it is entirely reasonable given the demands on servicemen and women's time and their obligations to their sworn duty.

The National Defense Committee reports:
[f]or each of the last three years, the Department of Defense’s Federal Voting Assistance Program has reported to the President and the Congress that the number one reason for military voter disenfranchisement is inadequate time to successfully vote.​
 
I say again: Before the new law, all Ohioans had the right to vote on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday before the election. The new law cuts off everyone on Friday except the military. Why? In order to give the military more time to vote? They get exactly the same as they had before the new law! :rolleyes: Everyone else gets three fewer days.

The story implies that the new law extended voting for military while leaving everyone else as it was before. That is false. This falsehood is needed in order to reinforce the fairy tale that "Obama hates the troops".
