FL GOP Accuses Election Officials of Opening Mail-In Ballots

The outcome was that voters needed to have the chance to come in and identify themselves, if the signatures did not match.
This is the same area where absentee ballots can be received and filled out up until Sunday (in 2014 Monday) before an election.
Today we find that Broward is not following state law at all.
The Broward County Supervisor of Elections office is opening absentee ballots early, before they are canvassed (the process of confirming the signature on the ballot envelop matches the voter's signature on file).
So, without checking the signature, Broward County is accepting ballots as legal. That's without matching the signature on file with the one on the ballot envelop.
I believe this is in violation of the law. In fact it disenfranchises voters, and there should be a law suit filed on behalf of open to a law suit against voters in Florida against the Supervisor of Elections in this county.
This allows them to accept invalid absentee ballots, and count them, without following state law. A lot of illegal ballot, filled out by people other than the voter, could easily be counted.
