Fuck, my vote may not have counted in PA
I heard something about Nader's legal battle in the swing states and that ballots with his fucking name on it may not have counted. Oh yeah, well I already voted absentee and he was on the damn ballot.

So my question is: did they discount all ballots with Nader on it or just Nader votes? I'm going to call the election office tomorrow, but does anyone know and tell me now so that I can stop freaking out?

I voted for Kerry obviously and a lot of other Dems and my vote better count. If not, then I need another ballot from this heavily Republican county.

On the bright side, my parents finally broke down and are going to vote for Kerry on Tuesday.

2. I'm almost 100% positive that
they're only striking votes for Nader, not the ballots.

7. Can they get a new ballot?
What if they want to vote for Kerry now that Nadar isn't on the ballot?

5. I thought I heard that only Nader votes would be handled "differently"
they would be handled as write-ins.

8. I will

According to this link, it looks like all votes WILL COUNT. Nader's are the only ones affected and they will be treated as write-in. I'll call tomorrow just to make sure.
