DOTC: Soldier Vote Option Clarified

RE: Soldier loses vote in Brannon case/DFO, Huckleberries Online

Dan of the County: I know this has been brought out before, but feel it needs to be mentioned again on behalf of Sgt. Major Proft that he provided our office with written directions from the Secretary of State's Office that he should tell our office that he was instructed to use the Courthouse address since he no longer owned his home in Post Falls. However, he still intended to be a Kootenai County voter as is his right under the Federal Uniformed And Overseas Citizens Voting Act. The Secretary of State has since clarified that he should have been told to use his old address in Post Falls anyway. That has since been corrected in our records even before this year's primary election.

Question: What do you make of this development in the Brannon trial?
