Palm Beach County Voters Get The Absentee Ballot Shaft: Today's Votes Of Incompetence
A Florida county that was the focus of national attention for ballot-counting issues in 2000 is back under the spotlight with electoral problems this year. The latest issue? At least 77 voters in Palm Beach County who requested absentee ballots had to wait weeks for them or still haven't received them , reports The Palm Beach Post.
The Obama campaign's chief counsel in Florida, Steven Rosenthal, sent Bucher a letter on Wednesday asking why "scores" of voters hadn't received their ballots yet.
Regardless of the reason for the holdup, frustration is mounting among some voters. Joe and Amanda Wilcox, who are from Lake Worth, Fla., but are stationed at Camp Lejeune, N.C., have not yet received absentee ballots from Palm Beach County despite requesting them at least three times since September.
"We're angry. We want to vote. We have a right to vote. It's one of our rights, and it's pretty much being taken away from us because it's not like we can vote here. Our only choice is to vote in Florida. But we can't vote in Florida because no one will send us our ballot," Amanda Wilcox told CBS 12.
