How many absentee votes returned out of what possible total? think the main point we're missing here is the total lack of interest in these two mediocre candidates and this election on every side. The Democrats are the party that says government will make you smarter, taller, richer, and remove the crabgrass on your lawn. The Republicans are the party that says government doesn't work and then they get elected and prove it. ~P.J. O'Rourke ;-)

Michael, could you also list the Republican members of the Florida House and Senate who enacted the draconian absentee voter statute in 1998 that essentially made it impossible to cast a valid absentee ballot unless you were an election expert with a notary public at your side? That Republican-sponsored law has led to the disqualification of hundreds, if not thousands, of absentee votes in Florida this election. Here is the bill; the relevent provisions appear on pages 23-28 of the bill. leg.state.fl.us
