After reading this post on SI, I conclude that some, at least, of Florida's absentee ballots do use punch cards, so maybe there is an innocent explanation for the taped cards. I hope so. Message 14843125 >>OT- Yes I'll be counted. I have to say, the procedure was not intuitive. So I took the time to read the details and figure it out...Witness signature, voter ID number, punching out vote with a tool(they included). No pregnant, hanging, dimpled, chafe, etc. Finally putting in proper envelope. And we happened to bring them directly to the post office to see them postmarked. Guess what? We had ZERO lines pointing to our choice of vote. We actually had to use our brain power to figure out the corresponding number to punch to match what was listed on voting description pamphlet....Oh my God. Maybe I should file a lawsuit. I had to use my brains to vote. It's not fair!<vbg> -MikeM(From Florida) <<
