Just one more reason to slow down the deliver of absentee and vote-by-mail ballots.

Poll shows military vote leaning away from Trump, toward Biden
In 2016, a Military Times Poll found Donald Trump leading Hillary Clinton by a roughly two-to-one margin. Four years later, it's a very different story.
....
The conventional wisdom tends to be that Americans in uniform are more conservative than the civilian population at large. But in this case, the results of the Military Times survey suggest that political attitudes between the two groups aren't that different: roughly half of active-duty troops, for example, have an unfavorable opinion of Trump. That's comparable to the 52% who said they have a negative view of the president in the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.

Looking ahead to Election Day, the same results showed Joe Biden leading the incumbent, 43% to 37%, with the remaining active-duty service members planning to either not vote or to support a third-party candidate. And while the Democrat's advantage tends to be a little larger in other recent 2020 polling, this is a constituency Trump assumes is on his side.
