In 2000, a post-election survey found that almost 30 percent either did not receive a ballot at all or received it too late.

I was one of them; was on a remote assignment--requested my absentee ballot in September, received it the Thursday after the election. Part of the problem was transit time, but my ballot was also mailed late due to local wrangling over ballot proposals. Wrote a letter to the mayor of my hometown & they changed the city's absentee ballot process to get them out earlier. The solution is often local.

Good attitude.

I admit that the DNC letter giving false instructions to absentee ballot handlers in Florida was lower than anything I thought the Dems. would do.

We let you guys down on the homefront.

It won't happen in 2004.
