The town of Blacksburg, VA, home of Virginia Tech, is going to have ROTC Cadets patrolling voting locations this coming Tuesday.

Members of the Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets are helping bring order to the voting process.

"We're going to have assistance from 100 members of the corps of cadets," Wertz said. "They help people find parking and help disabled voters in case they need to vote curbside. They will be scattered all throughout the precincts in the Blacksburg area."

I was present at two locations during the last election. There were no problems and I find this disturbing. There is no need to have men in army fatigues running around escorting people while they vote.
