They were apparently mailed out to an address somewhere in the ozone or in the RNC.

2. I spoke with the Registrar of Voters yesterday and one of the workers
confirmed what my canvassing showed. The ballots were sent out weeks ago and a great many people on the permanent absentee list have not received them.

3. Contact your Representatives & local Democrats
and your local papers. E-mail the K-E campaign. The same thing is happening in Florida. I can't offer you too much help. I live across the country in a non-swing, southern red state. We have no reports of that happening here (yet). We are in a battle to get a Democratic senator and Representative elected. The Florida situation seems to be getting publicity. Are you in California? Greetings from Georgia and good luck genius.

I am in Orange. Can I help?


edit: How about contacting the LA Times. There really is no one else to help here.

7. Black Helicopters?
Is it possible that this is just one of those glitches that pop up every now and then?


Obviously, I dont know who the absentee recipients were, but Orange County does have a decent sized GOP population. Doesn't quite make sense to disenfranchise those most likely to vote for your guys.


Again. I haven't seen any specific details. Just an observation.

8. I know the Registrar of Voters in Orange County
He's a stand-up guy. He would never mess with the franchise. If this problem actually exists (do we know it does?) look at the USPS.

10. If anyone knows the specific area in OC, pls. post it...!
I will be up late tonight...I can e-mail or call around and see if we can get any rides for the area if we need to. Or please post a contact name and e-mail addie if you can. All is not lost yet.

It's great that the word is out already, maybe we can still do something about it!
