That is the story reported, and the rationale for demanding that all absentee votes be disallowed. In the column I just posted, they said this:

Since the absentee ballots were removed from their envelopes in order to count the votes, it's impossible to match ballots with envelopes.

So I guess not all of the information was on the ballot itself.......

This is from the St. Petersburg Times:

Legal maneuvers in the Seminole case previewed arguments likely to be advanced today. Those include whether it is fair to throw out all of the county's absentee ballots -- they total more than 15,000 -- because 2,000 absentee applications were improperly altered. Lawyers also are likely to focus on how egregious the transgressions must be to justify the dramatic step of throwing out all those votes.
