From Mediaite, about the conservative Republican Congressman's appearance on Fox News: "On her show [last night], Greta Van Susteren brought on Congressman Allen West to explain his harsh criticism of the Obama administration filing a lawsuit to stop an Ohio law that would extend the voting period for members of the military. Van Susteren challenged West on the law, admitting she could not understand why such a law would not be expanded to all voters."
More: "West argued that civilians do not generally find themselves in the same kind of conditions as members of the military, and the kind of work that the military does should warrant a law extend the time period they have for sending in early votes. He noted that in the past, there have been irregularities with members of the military attempting to send their votes in early."
