How did the US military vote in the last presidential election?

Please provide links. This question has been asked, but the answers have been opinions on both sides. Some say the military votes were not counted, some say they were for McCain, some say they were for Obama. None of them have provided links to serious pages providing data. Thanks. :)How did the US military vote in the last presidential election?Republican

Typically active duty military members vote Republican, as the Republic party is historically a bigger supporter of funding the Defense Department, but military members are entitled to vote their conscience and there are exceptions to every rule.



According to exit polls taken on the day of the election, 44% of those with a military background voted for Obama, and 54% percent of those with a military background voted for McCain (while 2% voted for others).



Since an individual's vote is confidential, I don't think you are going to find any real statistics on how many service members voted for which candidate.How did the US military vote in the last presidential election?I'm sorry, I can't provide a link. I saw it on CNN and Fox News on the night of the election.



Overall the majority voted for McCain, but it was a slim majority. Obama won 46% to McCain's 50%; the remaining 4% going to 3rd parties.



Normally the military goes with Republicans, but in much bigger numbers.
This is going to be a little difficult to find solid information on, since you aren't required to list whether or not you are active duty on your voter registration. Therefore any data would have to be derived from polls. Another thing you have to consider is that a large percentage of the military that voted was deployed at the time and as such used absentee ballots.How did the US military vote in the last presidential election?Decidedly Military Industrial Complex, Corporate network, whatever one decides to name it. It amounts to a sinecure of regular employment for many rather than the noble profession that one may imagine. Look how far it got McCain-there is something ignoble about relying upon a military record alone, of itself. I would rather the candidate who may avoid such a scenario without sacrificing any freedoms- that's a winner. Not referring to WW2 vets, by any means.How did the US military vote in the last presidential election?
I know a lot of ppl in the marines specifically %26amp; all the ones that I know of that were deployed around the time of the election didn't get a chance to vote, the ballets just sat on a desk.

But my bf would have voted McCain, sorry no link just personal experience.
