PMG - Your assumptions don't appear to match reality. opinionjournal.com "...The facts are still emerging, but it appears that in Seminole both Republicans and Democrats paid to print applications for absentee ballots. They both sent them out to party faithful, who filled in the blanks and submitted them to the Board of Elections. Both the Republicans and the Democrats entered the voter identification numbers on each application for the voters. The only difference is that the Republicans put the numbers on the applications after they were submitted, while the Democrats put them on before. That's it. That's the entire basis for the suit...." "...In any case, there is a reason why Republican voters in Seminole needed more help this year. The printing firm discovered that the form it was using for Republican ballot applications omitted ID numbers. Unfortunately, the error was noticed after Republican applications were sent out. When the Republicans found out, they called the election office and asked if they could come in and remedy the omission, and the supervisor agreed. It should be emphasized that there was nothing illegal about the applications for ballots in Seminole, which means that the actual absentee ballots were entirely licit. (Unlike these legal ballots, those of convicted felons are actually illegal, and should be excluded if they can be identified--which they can't.) Since the voters could have stayed in town and voted in person had they not voted absentee, it would be particularly cruel to punish them after they relied on the representation by Florida authorities that they could legally vote by absentee ballot...."
