A pretty good point, and one I haven't heard expressed (or at least, not expressed so well) before. Incidentally, this whole mess about the military ballots is awful. Federal law states that military mail must be free, and florida law states that military ballots must have postmarks. While it's true that the military could put postmarks on mail they don't charge for, I have to figure that federal law is controlling here, and that it's illegitimate (albeit inadvertently) for florida law to disenfranchise these men & women. While allowing late ballots with no postmarks does open the door to fraud, I have to believe that those people generous and patriotic enough to risk their lives for the country wouldn't sign a false affidavit attesting to the date the ballot was signed.
