As you can see from the link I posted to another SI post, that I did not originate the post. The original post - the one I provided the link to - did not give a link to the complete story. So I did not have the complete story. So I did not edit it.

You leapt before you looked.

However, you bolded this: "ballot applications."
From: At issue is whether Seminole County Elections Supervisor Sandra Goard violated state law by giving two GOP workers what the suit calls ``unrestricted'' and ballot applications.

If the applications are not 'in order' the resulting ballots are disqualified. Why do you think the Republicans wanted to - and did - "fix" them?

See?

This is the issue - from the article you posted.
==============
When the ballot applications came in without voter identification numbers, they were rejected
and placed in storage, the suit says.

When Republicans learned of the problem, they persuaded Goard to let them use their own
records to add the voter ID numbers to the requests, the suit says.

Democrats and others were not made aware of potential problems with any of their ballots.
Goard, a Republican, has declined to comment.
