Soldier Vote Bill Offered
Washington January 5 Senator Lucastlh offered a new absentee vote bill for service personnel, replacing the leave it to the states resolution. He said he would introduce the revised proposal Monday while the House considers the Senate substitute. The plan envisions a Federal ballot with a four member bipartisan Federal ballot commission to handle war ballots and transmit them to state secretaries, ending its duties after delivery. Local officials would not report to the commission, and it would lack investigative power. The Senate previously jettisoned the original Green Lucar bill and sent the House a substitute enabling absentee ballots for armed forces members at home and abroad.
