The Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections confirmed that the ballot return envelopes in a viral video that appear to identify party affiliation of the voter are valid. Although, it claims different envelopes — which do not identify the party of the voter — are used in the general election.
A video posted by a woman named Tina Brown went viral this week, featuring Brown examining two ballot return envelopes — one which belonged to her Democrat brother and the other which belonged to her, a Republican. The envelopes, she observed, actually revealed their party affiliations. A “D” appeared within a series of numbers near the bar code of her brother’s return envelope, and an “R” appeared in the series of numbers on hers.

Seems to be confusion on if this is for the Primary and general or just Primary
Either way if you can go to WallMart you can go vote.
There should only be Absentee Voting
None of this mail in crap
So tell them they will not use those envelopes.
Florida and California and Illinois are incapable of running honest elections
“There should only be Absentee Voting
None of this mail in crap”
How does Absentee Voting work?
It’s not like some DemocRat operative in the election commission’s will be throwing away R votes. No, they are too principled for that./s
For primaries it makes sense. For general it should be forbidden.
Reminds me the old joke about two guys walking past a graveyard when they heard something, “one for me and one for you, one for me and one for you.” Oh Lordy that the devil and Jesus dividing up the souls.
Absentee you have to request a ballot. The mail in voting they want is where they mail a ballot to everyone.
Remember when Florida wouldn’t count overseas votes from military members with Florida residency in the Bush/Gore race because the APO didn’t use post marks?
And that requested ballot can’t be “lost“ when you mail it back?
It makes sense for primary ballots. It would be wrong in the general.
...
I assume it could be lost it may have an identifying tracker not sure. I have never voted absentee before.
You request a ballot verify your info with Spvsr of elections in your precinct they send you one
You send it back
Great for over seas Military people and like Trump a Fla res but residing in DC.
Folks that go to Fl b4 Nov 3 and still vote in their home town
People just dont get it and need to
No offense but your ? verifies that
Ground zero for election issues...remember hanging “chads”? I lived there during that election...it was grade A embarrassment...though most politics there were an embarrassment with several county commissioners going to jail over the years.

For the general, instead of the obvious /R/ or /D/, they will use a less obvious marker. The sorting device will still be able to cull ballots from undesirable voters.
Deplorables must vote in person, if at all possible. Even then, EVIL will have a way to game the system.
bkmk
Primaries are not real elections. I think everyone forgets that. The parties do not have to hold a primary vote, they can just appoint anyone they would like. But I doubt any envelope with political identification would even be allowed during a general election, which follows federal guidelines.
That’s how absentee ballots work here in PA.
The primary ballots do have a party affiliation on the outside. Because we have a closed primary and you can only vote in the one that you’re registered under. They don’t want anybody opening the ballot before election night so they have to identify to which party it belongs.
Not the case for the general election where you can vote for anybody you want to.
