Absentee ballots may have been destroyed in crash


 
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Federal officials say that absentee ballots being sent to U.S. military serving in Afghanistan may have been burned in a plane crash.

A top official in the Federal Voting Assistance Program this week notified election officials across the nation that a transport plane crashed at Shindad Air Base on Oct. 19.

The crash resulted in the destruction of 4,700 pounds of mail inbound to troops serving in the area.

Federal officials in their email to state election offices said they did not know if any ballots were destroyed. They also said the lost mail was limited to one zip code.

But they recommended that election officials resend a new ballot to anyone who requested one since the first ballot may have been destroyed in the crash and fire.

No replies yet, how much you want to bet that there won't be any of the outrage that there would be if these ballots were going to 0bamaphone people?

I thought this was going to be about the hidden ballots in Pederast Harry Reid's car when he was rear ended.

3. Because the troops were supportive of the President

their ballots are destroyed in a plane crash. Hum?
Sounds like a first to me.

 

So much delusion.

This really pisses me off, the way there's always so many shenanigans and "accidents" with the military vote.

I'll bet nowadays it's harder for soldiers to get to vote without any problems, than it was for soldiers to get the vote in 1864, the first time this was done.  And I don't think it's just random bad luck.
