italianquaker: My families absentee ballot is filled out and waiting to be submitted!!!! Put 2 in Romneys column for Florida early!

Don't many states only count absentee ballots if the margin on election day is close?

And wouldn't there just be a lot more room for "lost ballots in democrat trunks" with these where poll watchers are not as likely?

I'm just wondering if voting absentee due to eagerness might not play into the Chicago Machine's hand some...

I’m pretty sure all absentee ballots are counted. I know they are in Iowa.

I just don't buy that conspiracy theory, esp. with a GOP Gov and Sec State.

True, absentees aren't counted immediately unless within MOE, but eventually all votes are counted for final tallies by law.

Significance of absentees is the TREND, which shows Rs having much larger turnout than 08 (i.e., 2010 levels) and Ds having much smaller turnout (i.e., enough to, say, lose OH by 4 points).

I did think of that but there is a code and number too call to check on your ballot(I was told)
