Absentee ballots sent to U.S. military serving in Afghanistan ‘destroyed in crash’…
| TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Federal officials say that absentee ballots being sent to U.S. military serving in Afghanistan may have been burned in a plane crash.
A top official in the Federal Voting Assistance Program this week notified election officials across the nation that a transport plane crashed at Shindad Air Base on Oct. 19. The crash resulted in the destruction of 4,700 pounds of mail inbound to troops serving in the area. Federal officials in their email to state election offices said they did not know if any ballots were destroyed. They also said the lost mail was limited to one zip code. But they recommended that election officials resend a new ballot to anyone who requested one since the first ballot may have been destroyed in the crash and fire. |

Are you telling me our overseas units can’t vote in house, officers gather the results and send them via secured communications in this day and age when we can drop a bomb into a convertible?
The technology associated with online voting does seem infantile and subject to hacking or interference. You would think otherwise given the importance we place on voting
We are the United States of America, for f****** sakes! Send another plane.
