Citing obstacles our nation�s men and women in uniform face when voting by absentee ballot, American Bar Association President Dennis Archer today released a new report recommending an electronic voting and other measures to ensure their votes will count in up-coming elections:

�Service men and women give up so much to protect our freedoms while putting themselves in �harms way� they should not have to give up one of the basic rights of Americans, the right to vote.  We�re calling upon our states and the Department of Defense to put in place effective systems to allow our military to fully participate in our democracy by voting.�

The A-B-A report also calls for more equitable application of in state tuition rates and more vigorous advocacy for returning veterans re-entering the civilian workforce.  The A-B-A, the nations� largest lawyers organization, is currently meeting in Atlanta.
