Absentee ballot question about being counted |
|
I live in Florida. Is it true that a properly cast absentee ballot that arrives at the Election office in time, is more reliably counted than either optical scan or Diebold ? I just requested an absentee ballot to make sure my vote is counted. Thanks in advance.

but I do vote absentee myself.
Absentee ballots are recountable and verifiable. Also, while individual mail-in ballots may be more susceptible to frauds like coercion, there is less likelihood of system-wide fraud, like vote-switching, hacking, or "proprietary software."
