>>The same cannot be said for an overseas ballot that was received and stamped by the county registrar on a date that could only have been signed, sealed and mailed on or before November 7. << I agree that all such ballots should be counted. Unfortunately, the waters got mudded by a 1998 order that Florida must count ballots received in the mail up to ten days after the election. This, I understand, to be a federal ruling that obviously has nothing to do with anyone's view of this year's election. The reference to tyhe Bush camp caling in a Rabbi was simply to show that both sides recognize that the law requires a proper postmark, and are enforcing it. I didn't say there was any "fraud." Where did you read that? My point was that what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.

The Florida Secretary Of State says they do require a postmark as noted here in her public letter of 11/13/00: election.dos.state.fl.us With regard to the status of overseas absentee ballots, they must have been executed as of last Tuesday. They must bear a foreign postmark as provide in Section 101.62(7), and they must be received by the Supervisors of Elections by midnight Friday. They are not required, however, to be postmarked on or prior to last Tuesday.
