The Jimnasium: Absentee ballots may have been destroyed in crash

Welcome

Thanks for stopping by.

This blog intends to be a topical look, time permitting, at what is going in our world. Specifically how the flame of freedom, liberty and privacy is being snuffed out by the massed forces of evil totalitarianism, sometimes blatantly, often covertly.

Whatever your political hue, if you believe in freedom, liberty and getting the "government boot" off your throat then we urge you to get the conversation going with your friends, family & colleagues. It is up to us and us alone. We either learn about our freedoms and exercise our freedoms or lose them forever.

Also if you like what you see here please put this blog in your favourites and tell others about it. Feel free to comment, all civilised comments are welcome!

Absentee ballots may have been 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.
