In Florida, every voter has an "Voter's ID card". You get it when you register. It has a number on it. That is the "Voter ID Number" that they are talking about. It's how they identify a voter when he shows up at the polls. You are not REQUIRED to present it, but it's a big hassle if you don't because one of the election officials has to take the voter's ID and call in to check and see if the person is registered, etc. On the absentee ballot REQUESTS in question, the Republicans (not the Democrats who got it right and had the ID printed on their absentee ballot requests) either forgot to have the ID numbers attached to the request or the printer who printed the requests screwed up. As far as where things went from there, I have no idea. Any argument that the votes are not valid because of this error presumes that the voter committed some crime. If the voter didn't do anything wrong, then there is no valid argument to have his vote tossed. If they DO get tossed, you'll see a riot in Seminole by those voters. A real one, not the "white shirt and tie mob" jazz in Miami.
