Vermont and its chief election official were sued by the U.S. over the state’s alleged failure to send more than 20 percent of the absentee ballots requested by Vermont’s military and overseas voters.

The complaint, filed today by the U.S. Justice Department in federal court in Vermont, seeks an order to ensure military voters can cast their ballots in time to have their votes counted, the department said in an e-mailed statement.
