Ballots delivered before mail-truck mishap

BY HANNAH SAMPSON

Some absentee ballots headed to voters in Southwest Broward narrowly avoided a watery fate Monday.After a U.S. Postal Service employee delivered them, his brakes apparently failed and his mail truck plunged into a Miramar canal, police said.

The accident was under investigation by Miramar Police and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service.
(snip)

It was not clear if any mail was in the truck when it went in the water, said Enola Rice, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Postal Service.

If so, it will be retrieved, she said.

The mail carrier had ''a few absentee ballots'' to deliver, Rice said in an e-mail message. But, she said, they were delivered before the accident.

2. THE BOOOOOOOOOSH GOONS ARE AT IT AGAIN!!!!!!
Bin Laden's father's plane mysteriously falls from the sky in Texas while viewing oil fields. Bin Laden's uncle's plane also falls from the sky (in France) I think it was ... but CIA dirty hands travel far and wide.

Canahan's plane falls from the sky...

Wellstone's plane falls from the sky ...

and now, a mail truck loses its brakes while trying to deliver some absentee ballots!!!!!!!!!

THE BUSH GOONS, like the ITALIAN OR RUSSIAN MAFIA, STOP AT NOTHING TO STOP DEMOCRACY AND GET THEIR DICTATORIAL, AUTHORITARIAN WAYS.

Will the mail carriers have to draw to see who gets AWARDED the truck who has to deliver those absentee ballot once they have been cast back to the SOE's office?
