The bigger question Ellen, is did the Military even RECEIVE the ballots on time, let alone be able to mail them back to their respective homes ....This site documents just some of the articles about the missing ballots...includidng the Nov 4th article BEFORE the election.

It was clarified for me last night...absentee ballots must have a postmark...military absentee ballots must have a postmark OR have a witness signature with date...

I think this is correct...

<<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.>>

Then what about the following language from the cited statute?

"(7) With respect to the presidential preference primary and the general election, any absentee ballot cast for a
federal office by an overseas elector which is postmarked or signed and dated no later than the date of the Federal election shall be counted if received no later than 10 days from the date of the Federal election as long as such absentee ballot is otherwise proper. Overseas electors shall be informed by the supervisors of elections of the provisions of this rule, i.e., the ten day extension provision for the presidential preference primary and the general election, and the provision for voting for the second primary.""

Ellen:

I know what the law is, and I did respond to Chalu on this point. See siliconinvestor.com

It would be more productive for you to FIRST read all the posts pertaining a particular issue discussed here on this thread before chiming in. As such, your response me raises no issue that I have not address regarding my personal position on this issue.

I'll leave it to you to read ALL my posts here, and conclude for yourself whether you have any point to make to me. As I see it, you have none.
