[EL] Ballot Issues in Palm Beach County (FL)

[Mozaffar, Shaheen]

The Palm Beach Post story in this link will be of interest to list members.  The newspaper has run a series of pieces by the reporter in the byline of the linked story on what seems to be some serious issues surrounding absentee ballots in Palm Beach County.  Professor Charles Stewart III was quoted in one of the stories and may know more about these issues.

A friend who works at the newspaper said that they have been receiving frantic calls in the past week from voters (most sounding elderly) about not receiving the ballots on time, or receiving flawed ballots, and expressing anger that the election might be rigged or "stolen."  My friend and her husband also received flawed ballots, but she called the elections board about them and they sent the correct ballots after six days.
