In a February 14 editorial, the Washington Times revived the false smear that Attorney General Eric Holder and the Justice Department intentionally blocked military ballots, because “military voters tend to be Republican and the administration that's dragging its feet on their behalf is Democratic.” From the Washington Times:

MOVE was supposed to fix the broken system, but the Justice Department publicly encouraged states to seek waivers from MOVE's requirements, was extremely tardy in sending information to states about how to comply and then failed to adequately monitor compliance. It's not coincidental that military voters tend to be Republican and the administration that's dragging its feet on their behalf is Democratic. While the department slept, a volunteer team of law students for the private Military Voter Protection (MVP) Project caught seven states in noncompliance. A lawsuit from MVP - against a ballot plan already approved by Justice - forced full accommodation for military voters from Maryland. On Oct. 29, federal district Judge Roger W. Titus ruled that the plan approved for Maryland by the Justice Department“unconstitutionally infringes the right to vote” of overseas personnel.

[...]

On Oct. 28, before the election took place, Rep. Dan Lungren, California Republican, wrote to Mr. Perez, complaining, “Whether or not the department's efforts have been robust, the results certainly are not." Mr. Lungren is chairman of the committee holding today's hearing. Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. and his team at Justice are about to find out that the new Republican majority won't sit still for mistreatment of U.S. servicemen like former House Speaker Pelosi's leadership did.
