The Franken absentee court battle is really helping bring attention to an important issue. Even Minnesota could make absentee ballot voting easier. For stories like this break my heart:
- Oh, and my husband (who is currently serving his country in the military) received a letter today that his vote was thrown out. Supposedly someone challenged his absentee ballot and election officials "determined" that the signature on his ballot did not match the signature on the absentee ballot application - even though he signed them both. I would love to know how many other voters also had their votes discarded like this... I can't even describe to you how angry it makes me.

Stumble It!
You Go, Girl!
Kelly, This story breaks my heart! Our soldiers in action deserve better and I'm angry about it. Angry! What can we do? What is the right avenue?
Republican, Democrat, Independent, whatever. Those votes should COUNT. I bet some of those soldiers in action even give their life for us while their vote is in the mail... rejected because of signature problems! Terrible! Spit!
Let's do something, now.
