Nice lawyer thinking. Did you work for Gore's team of lawyers in Florida during the last election?

That would explain allot. LOL

Checking for date stamps?! You mean he felt that once the election date has passed the military should not be allowed to vote? How shocking and despicable!

We had a very strange rule of law in 2000 election. If a voter punched out Gore as a choice and wrote in Gore on the ballot it was deemed an invalid ballot. Even though that violated Florida statute on the intent of the voter.

On the other hand, if an absentee ballot was postmarked after the election it was counted. But only if it was from military personnel overseas. If it was from a civilian expatriate, it didn't count.
