Why can't all Democrats vote absentee in 2008?

1. Cause I promise
that they won't all be counted that way. That, and they could always send the ballots out too late so that none of us could vote. Good idea though :D

2. I like Australia's mandatory voting law ! Even if the dumbest vote
at least you'd have a mandatory system of voting and a way to check the vote. What we've got now, with about 40% not voting allows for results like 30% for Bush (supposedly) and around 29.3% for Kerry with the rest for others or not counted at all.

3. Well...in Florida, they lost 2000 absentee ballots and never found them.
It's a scam, they can lose them, never send the ballots and then state you can't vote. Stand in line and demand transparency.

4. Because not all states allow you to vote absentee...
if you're not absent.
