I must confess I am not very familiar with this stuff. Back in Sept, I went to the US embassy in Australia, cast my absentee ballot, from the commonwealth of PA. At that time Nader's name was not on the ballot (I would not have voted for him anyways), so I guess the real question is : Is a ballot paper an evolving process until election day ? What about absentees ?

Interesting - my PA absentee ballot arrived today (after more than two months of waiting). Ralph Nader is not on my ballot. This is the first time I've ever requested an absentee ballot. It sure is odd that the form is a poor quality copy of a ballot. Perhaps this was necessitated due to the late decision to remove Nader. Still, it is a very unprofessional looking document. Another serious concern I now have is that there are too many minor things that will cause my absentee ballot to be invalidated. Unless I have a serious setback in the next week or so, I am going to vote in person on election day. The odds my vote will be counted are much greater in the booth than by absentee ballot IMO. .
