Absentee Ballot Rejections in Miami Dade County. By Geniusofdespair

The Miami Herald reported that Miami Dade County Elections rejected almost 2,500 absentee ballots of which 1,442 were post marked late. Some ballots took weeks to get to the Elections Department. 458 had no signatures. If your ballot was rejected, Elections said that they will contact you by mail.  Overall 9,100 absentee ballots were rejected in 5 Counties in Florida.

I was told the Miami Herald won't let you go to links soon unless you pay a fee. If you don't pay, that means it is up to people like me to give you the news because I will pay and you won't be able to check my accuracy. God help you.  Read Gimleteye's post below about this very subject.  The Miami Herald contacted 1,000 people for the absentee ballot article today. I can't do that kind of reporting. We need the local newspaper for stories like this.  Join the debate...

I think that they should have to tell the rejected voters that their ballots were rejected. My husband and I have been voting absentee for years. I'd like to know that my votes counted. I realize that this would be a big job but what if mine never counts. What a waste of time for everyone.

The elections department does tell voters.
