Just to add another possibility to the list of reasons that absentee ballots may not have arrived --
Our block has a chronic problem of mail delivered to the wrong addresses; usually just the wrong house number within the block but sometimes the wrong block (44xx Pine instead of 43xx Pine) or the right house number but the wrong street name! My husband caught up with the mail carrier one day earlier this week when the mail she left at our house was all for another address -- her response was a shrug and a smirk. We later knocked on neighbors' doors and returned the mail left at our house to the correct address, but were unable to find any of the mail that should have come to our address. Needless to say, we made a complaint to the post office but only go a "we'll look into it" response. So one more good reason to get to know your neighbors . . .

My brother, who happens to be a Republican and a Captain in the army actually received two absentee ballots. Not to jump to the conspiracy theory or anything, but things have been stolen from my mail before such as the registration stickers for my car. Also my roommate received a new social security card and the envelope had obviously been opened. I don't think it would be farfetched at all for people to do the same with absentee ballots. >From: Kyle Cassidy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: Kyle Cassidy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: "'Naomi '" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, "'[EMAIL PROTECTED] '" ><[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, "'[EMAIL PROTECTED] '" ><[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: RE: [UC] Absentee Ballots? >Date: Thu, 28 Oct 2004 13:11:51 -0400 > > the only two people i know who tried to cast absentee ballots had >problems >with them. one friend in NYC never received it, and a friend in the USMC in >iraq got his too late to make it back in time to be counted. > >that's all anticdotal though. > >-----Original Message----- >From: Naomi >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: 10/28/2004 12:57 PM >Subject: [UC] Absentee Ballots? > >Has anyone else applied for an absentee ballot?
