They are starting already in Florida! 58,000 missing absentee ballots
Are you kidding me? I hope this will not be an instant replay of 2000!


-Snip-

Broward County officials blamed the U.S. Postal Service Tuesday for misplacing nearly half of the absentee ballots requested in the county, as frustrated voters trying to find out what happened overwhelmed phone lines at the elections office.

The Postal Service denied responsibility for the missing ballots, but Broward officials said they sent about 58,000 ballots more than two weeks ago, on Oct. 7-8. As of Tuesday, 126,220 absentee ballots had been requested.

1. I hope they are doing something about this
if nothing else the DNC should be working to get these people to the polls for early voting if they can

Edited on Wed Oct-27-04 10:15 AM by fudge stripe cookays
they'll be ushered in carefully to make sure they get their votes in regardless, then the fuckers will pull the missing ballots of their asses.

They will then accuse us of vote duplication or some screwed up voter fraud.
