Windsock, I just took a look at the Florida law on requests for absentee ballots. Fl. Election Code 101.164 (2) provides as follows:

>>(2) Upon receipt of a federal postcard application for an absentee ballot executed by a person whose
registration is not in order and whose application is insufficient to register or update the registration of
that person, the supervisor shall follow the procedure set forth in s. 97.073.<<

S. 97.073 provides as follows:

>>97.073 Disposition of voter registration applications; cancellation notice.--

(1) The supervisor must notify each applicant of the disposition of the applicant's voter
registration application. The notice must inform the applicant that the application has been
approved, is incomplete, has been denied, or is a duplicate of a current registration. A
registration identification card sent to an applicant constitutes notice of approval of
registration. If the application is incomplete, the notice must instruct the applicant to complete
another voter registration application, which the supervisor must provide. A notice of denial
must inform the applicant of the reason the application was denied.

(2) Within 2 weeks after approval of a voter registration application that indicates that the
applicant was previously registered in another jurisdiction, the supervisor must notify the
registration official in the prior jurisdiction that the applicant is now registered in the
supervisor's county.<<

So all that was supposed to happen was that the supervisor was supposed to notify the person trying to get the ballot that it was incomplete. Then, presumably the person could supply the missing information. So someone else did it for them? What is the problem?

I don't blame them for hiring lawyers, but that doesn't mean they are guilty, just scared.
