Invalidation is despicable

This Administration has deployed our military personnel all over the planet. Now it issues detailed instructions to invalidate as many of their votes as possible, secure in knowledge that the authors and beneficiaries enjoy legal and traditional immunity from the retaliation practiced in so many other nations. Thus, they shamelessly exploit the virtue of our military. This tactic is despicable and merits official congressional censure, at the very least! Certainly such contemptible behavior must not be rewarded, and actions must be taken to prevent such unjust election conduct toward our most vulnerable citizens, now or in the future.
