I guess she was sat down, her absentee ballot placed on the table in front of her, and was to;ld something along the lines of 'you know * is the wise choice, a good soldier would vote*" not exactly told "Vote * or else" but definitely intimidation and abuse of authority. this was in WA so wouldn't make a diff in the vote, but if it happened here why not elsewhere?? I mean, it's implicit that the military traditionally support rethugs, but to overtly campaign, more than campaign, strongly encourage at the moment the ballot is filled out, maybe with some implicit threat and implication of disloyalty. what happened to anonymous voting??
