When 2 laws conflict, the court makes the rules....kapeche? BTW...In another development, a lawsuit filed Friday demands that 1,500 overseas absentee ballots received after 7 p.m. Election Day be thrown out. The suit names 10 Republican-leaning counties: Bay, Brevard, Citrus, Clay, Duval, Escambia, Manatee, Okaloosa, Santa Rosa and Seminole.
The suit, filed on behalf of Miami-Dade and Palm Beach county voters, claims that overseas ballots received after polls closed cannot be counted no matter when they were postmarked. State law allows overseas ballots received within 10 days of an election to be counted as long as they were postmarked by Election Day. |
