Election 2004
'04 absentee votes require more postage
By Times Staff
Published October 26, 2004

The self-addressed return envelope that comes with a Pinellas County absentee ballot has two spaces on it, for two stamps.

But two stamps won't always cover the fare. Many absentee ballots need 83 cents - or more than two 37-cent stamps.

Florida Democratic Party officials are so concerned about the mistake that they've been reminding absentee voters by phone to put extra postage on their absentee ballots.

In Pinellas County, Supervisor of Elections Deborah Clark's office could not explain Monday why she printed envelopes that didn't indicate the right number of stamps.

Deputy Supervisor of Elections Joan Brock referred questions to a new spokeswoman, who began work Monday and could not be reached for comment.

According to the article, the post office will deliver the ballots, even short on postage, and the taxpayers will pick up the shortage. After that, :shrug: it's anybody's guess what will be done with them.

It's not just the voters, SoCalDem. Can anyone get anything right?

Referred to a new spokeswoman (great timing for a new employee- one week away from FL FUBAR 04) - who (naturally) could not be reached for comment.
