(Florida) Overseas voters get two ballots (for real)

After the Nader question delays things, Floridians living abroad get two chances to vote - sort of.

-snip-

When Pamela Morse's overseas ballot arrived last week, she wondered if it was a joke.

A letter said Morse would get a second "official" ballot later and told her to mail both.

"I really hate to be paranoid," Morse wrote in an e-mail to the St. Petersburg Times, "but we who have received these ballots are questioning if this is some sort of trick to discount our votes?" Call it the Nader Effect.

-snip-

Around the globe, some 32,000 Floridians living abroad are getting similar absentee ballots in the mail. And they are confused.

1. It's the confuse and conquer tactic, Republicans should really....
...not be allowed anywhere near the ballots or the voting process in Florida. I'm for calling in a delegation from the United Nations to ensure that November ballots all get counted no matter how long it will take.
