If the poster was right about not counting absentees, it would make sense. You have an election and the election day votes give X for Bush and Y for Kerry. If there are fewer than |X-Y| votes, then they won't matter anyway. It makes sense to save money. It costs a lot to count those ballots statewide. This allows them to count absentees for races that count.
So, absentee ballots from registered disabled people are not counted. Is that what you are saying? I believe this is a form of discrimination.
I will await to hear from my Maine Representative. I pray you three are wrong. Because this would BE wrong!
P.S. If they did not count the absentee ballots, why would they even send them out? It costs a lot of money to make up these ballots and send them out. So what is the difference in the cost?
And what about registered bed-ridden voters? Are you saying that THEY cannot vote????
