The 1st time I was allowed to vote in a Presidential election I was in the Army. They made sure we all had access to the ballots. I remember seeing duffle bag with red and white stripes on them that said BALLOTS...sitting in the HQ mail room a week after the election.
President Ronald Reagan didn't need our votes I guess.
Years later I had heard that W's election wouldn't have been so narrow had they counted the military ballots for him too.
