>>>Well, I have not read of any controversy about the pre- printing.<<<<

What I originally heard was that the absentee ballot applications had been printed without the line or box on them in which the voter registration number would have been entered. The ballot applications were sent out like this but they included in the instructions that the voter must include the number. 4700 people sent the application back without the number and that is when the republican lady in Seminole county allowed people to come into her office space and finish filling in the applications. I have no idea at this time whether this is true or not.

I have also heard the numbers were put on the applications before they were sent to the voters in the first place. If that is the case I wonder why if they were printed wrong that the republicans who added the numbers didn't just draw a box on the application or print a separate piece of paper for the voter to enter the number.

In any case I think the Judge will rule that the votes will count at this time but someone or more than one person will be at least fined over it. The lady that allowed them to enter the numbers has a good chance of losing her job too.
