Only if it is a military ballot does a ballot received after 2 November have to be counted. All civilian ballots have to be in the Board of Election by midnight on the 2nd. We researched that back in 2000 with Florida. There is no leeway granted for civilian ballots and the only reason for military is federal law. States only have to count the portion of the military ballot dealing with federal elections if the ballot is postmarked after midnight of the elections.

We have a TON of guys in the Nat'l Guard on overseas duty right now. I BET most of those uncounted belong to them.

Chet is a Dem; so take everything he says with a grain of salt...but he is usually fairly honest. If it's Military vote uncounted; enough said.
