1. I'm confused about how she knew her ballot was thrown out since the article says voters are not

voters are not contacted when their ballots are thrown out.

how do they have so much information about that one voter?

i'm not doubting that this happens. it is just a strange story because someone would have had to contact that
person to let them know her ballot was thrown out.

also, this is one of the reasons why i will never vote absentee. i want control over my ballot
and i want to put it into the voting box myself so i know it will be counted.

2. An update to the story explains that

UPDATE 12:45pm: Just got the following statement from Mona Reis:

Believe it or not, there is NO other process that will allow for me to vote! I cannot vote in person, I cannot take an oath that my signature is really mine - end of story! It just so happened that I knew the reporter who was observing the process and she called me to tell me. What about all the other ballots that get disqualified and people only find out about it after the elections? After the 2000 butterfly ballot fiasco here, we were all told that the best way to guarantee that your vote counts is to vote by absentee! I want to vote, damn it! We are looking at taking some legal action. I am not giving up as this is such an outrage and needs to be changed! I want to vote because this is the most important election in my lifetime. I would never forgive myself if I didn't continue to try.

Emphasis added.

3. What's worse is that the

Supervisor of Elections is a Democrat...WTF?

I live in Palm Beach County and requested an absentee ballot because I will be working the polls on election day. I was one of the fortunate people who received a corrected ballot after the misprint was discovered so it arrived late. Before my ballot arrived I was assigned to work my own precinct and a little voice kept whispering, "wait and vote on election day...put your ballot into the scanner yourself." Today I received 2 emails reminding me to mail in my absentee ballot and I have the $1.50 of required postage on hand, but I decided to just bring it with me, to be cancelled at the precinct, and vote there. Now I'm REALLY glad I hesitated.

4. my absentee ballot says recieved on-line

I assumed that meant it was counted, but I don't know now if "received" means "counted."
