military being overtly pushy about how to vote? little story [View All]

[freeplessinseattle]

yesterday one of the people I was canvassing with said she has a friend at Fort Knox military base who was "sat down, her absentee ballot placed in front of her, and pretty much told that she was voting for *, while they watched." they didn't exactly hold a gun to her head (tho thatw ouldn't surprise me) but made clear that's what she should do in order to properly serve her country, etc.. I asked her for more details, did they call everyone in to do this same thing, etc. but the friend didn't know. I have her phoen number so I will call her in a few hours to get more details and see if we can find out if this was common there, and how we can go about elicting the truth from the troops. don't know much difference this would make on this eelection, if any, but the dirty work needs to be exposed.
