that the vote of a serviceman, however much we appreciate him, is worth more than the vote of a blue-haired lady really offends me.

Of course not. But there is a major difference.

That "blue-haired lady" (Blue?) has the ability to have a poll worker assist here in properly completing the ballot. She also has the ability to ask for a replacement ballot if she screws up.

The military member is stuck on the DMZ in Korea, or in a tent city in Bosnia/Kosovo, or on a ship sailing the ocean blue, and has to rely on getting it right the FIRST TIME and hoping that the military postal system will get it there on time.

Of course, those "blue-haired REPUBLICAN ladies" in Duval county sure don't count as much as the democratic ones in Palm Beach, Miami-Dade, and Broward, do they?... :0) Otherwise, Gore would have demanded a STATE WIDE recount from day one.

And they sure didn't care about the ones in many other states either.

Regards,

Ron
