Rankin Bill Aims to Let Soldiers Vote in State Elections
Congressman R Poage defends Rankin Bill to restrict Federal ballots to nationwide elections and to require state ballot access for soldiers voting in primary and local matters. He argues space and distance limit military voting but warns against overreliance on federal law before President signs. The letter also reflects postwar Pacific policy, urging cooperation with Russia and China while stressing the United States must protect inland territories won by soldiers.
