After this, I would appreciate it if you get assistance elsewhere with your reading difficulty. It's not enough that explicit reference is posted, but you can't seem to read it for yourself. Gets a bit frustrating. The Republicans sent unsolicited applications. That is illegal. The Republicans "fixed" (altered) the applications without the knowledge of the voter. That is illegal. leg.state.fl.us 104.047 Absentee ballots and voting; violations.-- 1) Any person who provides or offers to provide, and any person who accepts, a pecuniary or other benefit in exchange for distributing, ordering, requesting, collecting, delivering, or otherwise physically possessing absentee ballots, except as provided in ss. 101.6105-101.694, is guilty of a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.

Christopher, would you like to weigh in on this? I already weighed in. There may be statutes Ellen didn't include in her posting that make the mailing of applications for absentee ballots illegal, but she didn't provide them. It is standard practice in many, if not most, and possibly all, states for the parties to help their supporters get absentee ballots. Nothing wrong with it that I know of, and nothing Ellen has posted that says it's wrong.
