I just skimmed the major papers and found just cursory mention of these rejected military votes.
Can you imagine the furor if these were minority votes targeted for rejection? Complete travesty!

With 66 of 67 Florida Counties reporting, 1420 votes Rejected, 2203 votes accepted. This was after Democrats made a major effor to tell their activists how to get oversea ballots rejected.

The Dems successfully had over 39% of the votes thrown out!

Apparently, the 'voter intent' doesn't matter for these voters. Only votes for Democrats need to be evaluated to determine the will of the voter. So much for their spin that every vote counts.

This is probably exactly why the Republicans chose not to do hand re-counts in the other counties...they don't have the ground control crews like the Dems do...they are totally outmanned in Florida.
