Steal the Vote 2004, part 11
In Broward County, Florida, as many as 58,000 absentee ballots may have gone missing:
Local 10 has learned that many as many as 58,000 ballots that were supposed to mailed out on Oct. 7 and 8 could be missing.
The Broward County Supervisor of Elections office is saying only that the situation is “unusual,” and they are looking into it.
Gisela Salas, Broward Deputy Elections Supervisor, said, “I hate to say ‘missing’ at this time because that has not yet be substantiated. Some ballots are starting to arrive. But there is an extraordinary delay.”
An elections office representative told Local 10 that the office has investigated with the U.S. Post Office what might have happened to the ballots, but so far, no one has been able to figure it out.
“It is unusual. It’s a puzzle on the part of our office and the postal service,” Salas said. “Our office did make the delivery and the post office assures us they were processed. What happened is in question.”
