“How can there be 40,000 Absentee Ballots still out? I read this weekend that there were 22,000 to be counted PLUS the Overseas Military Ballots. I know there are not 18,000 Overseas Military Ballots out. In the last Prez Election only 13,000 Military Ballots went out.”
Where did you see this? Can you link it for us? The Politico article I quoted seems to be the only reference to the 40,000 - and it quotes it as coming from ‘according to the Alaska Division of Elections Director Gail Fenumiai.’ It also doesn’t say ‘total abs. ballots out’ or ‘potentially 40,000’ but it says ‘still have to count about 40,000’.
So who knows what to think about these numbers currently.
I think it’s in murky camp’s interests to keep these reports and numbers, well, murky, doncha know?
Someone provided the link the other day that showed the number of Overseas Military Ballots mailed out in 2008. You can possibly do a Google Search. As for the 22,000 remaining Ab Ballots; bro., I don’t remember the link for that; but I truly did see it.
