<With regard to overseas military ballots, everything that I have read or heard on the matter says that they had to be postmarked and/or signed and dated not later than election day.> That was my understanding initially also, based on a Secretary of State regulation. But the Republican Legislature then significantly tightened up the requirements for requesting and voting absentee. One the changes they made was to require that the "With respect to marked ballots mailed by absent qualified electors overseas, only those ballots mailed with an APO, FPO, or foreign postmark shall be considered valid." leg.state.fl.us I wasnt able to watch the argument, but I understand the AG made some comments that postmarks were required, so at this point, it is hard to figure out what the rule is.
