Subject: Florida Absentee Ballot Warning - Urgent

This is happening in Florida, but all absentee voters should be careful!

Check Postage Requirements for Absentee Ballots

We have heard from a Florida voter that returning your absentee ballot by mail may require more than just 37 cents, regardless of what the official instructions say. Make sure you check at the Post Office before you mail it in any state.

1. this happened

during the primary in Colorado. The board just paid the PO the difference.

2. I voted absentee in Florida (Hillsborough Co)

in the recent primary. The instructions I got said that extra postage was needed. I put two .37 stamps on it.

3. Better just..

deliver it in person, if you can. Here in L.A. we have that option.

5. in Denver

4. doesn't this seem like the sort of letter that should be postage exempt?

You wanna vote? Okay, either show up on this day or give me 74 cents!

6. HAVA should require the post office deliver them no matter what

in fact no postage should be required.
