8 days? Why not two weeks? Rendell knows that only about 70% will get there in 8 days. As long as they agreed to extend the time, why not do it right?

He will never do things RIGHT.

Don't let anyone fool you. PA is tight and that bastard knows it. Central and Northern Tier Counties and pull this pull it off with turn out.

I wonder if he is attempting to trump the AMISH VOTE. I don't think he was counting on this.

The silent majority has had enough, they know what is on the line.

Good news! :^D


From the article:

HARRISBURG - The state will count absentee ballots of Pennsylvanians living abroad and serving in the military overseas that arrive up to eight days after Tuesday's election under a compromise brokered yesterday by a federal judge.

Yet the agreement might not be the final word on a contentious battle pitting Republican leaders and conservative talk-show hosts against Democratic Gov. Rendell, who had until yesterday opposed the extension.

Hours after a federal judge approved the settlement, GOP leaders filed a separate motion in state court to push back the deadline even further.


How algore almost stole an election .....

As long as they were submitted before November 2nd, there should be absolutely NO EXCUSE for not counting the votes of any US military personnel, no matter when it arrives in the polling/counting center.

Vote here. You don't even have to be a legal voter.

Democrats welcome.

This is a joke, right?

One possible problem with postmarks: Things may be different now, but last year my husband's letters from Kuwait and Iraq were postmarked in New York, stamped with a date usually a week or more after my husband's letter date. Sometimes mail from non-permanent stations is flown out of the theater to the U.S. and THEN postmarked once it gets into the system. I sure hope there is a machine standing by on EVERY military facility overseas with an authentic date-time stamp for these soldiers who are trying to beat the Nov. 2 postmark deadline.

The Republican Party was exploiting the issue "big time... to try and create the impression that Democrats don't care about the military," Rendell said in one of two conference calls with reporters yesterday.

I heard Mr. Rendell's debate with Sean Hannity when Sean nailed him but good. Mr. Rendell claimed that merely 2 soldiers not having received their absentee ballots wasn't good enough evidence. Apparently, he decided to change his mind a few hours later. So now, who's explointing the issue?

I saw that on TV, about Amish people getting out the vote. I was really surprised (and pleased).
