LOTS OF REASONS PEOPLE DIDN'T GET ABSENTEE BALLOTS

Thousands of Floridians who wanted to vote absentee in last November's election were not able to do so, and the reasons were numerous. The Palm Beach Post has looked at what happened there, where over 3,500 ballots were returned or rejected.

In nearly two-thirds of the cases, ballots were returned as undeliverable. Absentee ballots cannot legally be forwarded, so if the voter has moved...tough luck. House numbers transposed, street name correct but wrong city, those happened as well. Over 1,000 arrived back too late to be counted, some via Express Mail at $13.65 each, and another 500+ had signature issues...mostly because the voter simply forgot to sign it!

But some voters insisted the Supervisor of Elections office was to blame for problems.
