Election Absentee Ballots

Daniel Said:

Why did Al Gore try to block the absentee ballots of our miltary during the 2000 election?

We Answered:

Because the military votes for the Republicans. They know that placing a Democrat into office is dangerous and against the best interests of our national security. Look what happened during the Clinton administration and how unprepared we were when we were attacked on our own soil as a result of downsizing and drastic cutbacks!

Here's an interesting tidbit:

Excerpts from the Army Times:

Military Times poll: Troops backing McCain

Sen. John McCain enjoys overwhelming support from the military’s professional core, a Military Times survey of nearly 4,300 readers, indicates, though career-oriented black service members strongly favored the Democratic Party candidate.

McCain, R-Ariz., handily defeated Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., 68 percent to 23 percent in a voluntary survey of 4,293 active-duty, National Guard and reserve subscribers and former subscribers to Army Times, Navy Times, Marine Corps Times and Air Force Times.

The results of the Military Times 2008 Election Poll are not representative of the opinions of the military as a whole. The group surveyed is older, more senior in rank and less ethnically diverse than the overall armed services.

But as a snapshot of careerists, the results suggest Democrats have gained little ground in their attempts to significantly chip away at a traditionally Republican voting bloc in campaign messages and legislative initiatives, such as the recent expansion of GI Bill benefits, experts said.

The second link I'm provided is rather interesting as well. It breaks it down by gender and race.

Theodore Said:

In New Orleans, Did Ray Nagin Win The Mayoral Election on Absentee Ballots?

We Answered:

He is a crook. The election was a fraud. Still, the rest of the nation pays for this huge lie. Another black guilt trip that is still paying off.

Suckers. Blame the sensational "news" media. Especially CNN.

Beatrice Said:

Are absentee ballots counted only in the case of a very close election?

We Answered:

No, they are all counted on election night.

Guy Said:

when do they count maine absentee ballots?

We Answered:

I think it depends when you sent in your absentee ballot. I think in most cases if you sent in your absentee ballot the day of the election it might not be counted, unless it was necessary do to a tight race. If your going to vote absentee make sure you do it weeks before so you know it will be counted.

Julian Said:

Any trouble with absentee ballots this recent election?

We Answered:

The only recent elections have been primary elections for the two parties. I haven't heard of any of the candidates vying for their party's nomination complaining about military absentee ballots.

Sonia Said:

What was the first election that allowed for absentee ballots to be mailed in to vote?

We Answered:

I know there were absentee ballots during the Civil War so that the soldiers could vote. They may have existed earlier than this, but I think that was the first time there were a large number of them. Clearly, soldiers away on the battlefields during the election had the right to vote, and absentee ballots helped them to do that when they could not get home.
