One of our readers just received this email written by his friend. I have a friend who's a Florida resident and never got his absentee ballot. This all rings true:
I never got my voter registration card through the mail, decided to go and vote early yesterday just in case there was a problem so I could fix it if need be. There was. I'm not on The List. I can't vote. This morning I went to the Supervisor of Elections office and they confirmed that. Then I called 1-866-OUR-VOTE and spoke to a lawer to register my complaint. He told me that Broward county has been registering an "absurdly high" volume of complaints, that pretty much everything that can go awry has, and that so far 15,000 people have called from Broward and Dade counties because they didn't recieve their registration cards. Apparently nobody has been able to get through to the Election Supervisors office by phone for more than a week now, so some of them called OUR VOTE. *sigh* When they spoke to the Election Board about it , the problem was blamed on the postal service. Yeah, right. 15,000 pieces of randomly 'lost' mail. I believe that one!
