I hear FL is expecting 5-10k county is seeing heavy absentee submissions so far Jim, With 5 to 10k (assuming they are not counted yet) is a big number. Even if over half have been counted and factored into the country, the remainder is still a very large number. The interesting thing I heard on CNN today was that these votes don't have to be postmarked the date of the election; they only have to be signed and dated by election night.???????? That could mean many that were not really planning on voting might have been tempted after they heard of the closeness of the race. In addition, everyone already knew that it would be close even prior to the election. It may have urged Democrat supporters to exercise their right this year. The increases in women in the US forces might help Gore as well as better minority participation. Assuming the regular absentee voters were usually Republican based upon history.--- A surge in the number of absentee ballots received could be a sign of strong support for Gore; maybe enough to overcome the 300 vote lead. Lots of questions. I just want this thing over ASAP. Realistically, it still looks like a Bush victory.
