sweet baboo Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 I got one in the mail yesterday...dunno why I should...I moved from Erie County to Monroe County, changed my voter party registration and also have filed taxes here for 2 years...they were even able to send it to the right address in rochester...so why would I get an absentee ballot aplication in the mail? I also don't have a voter's registration card that I used to have when I lived in Erie County

I also don't have a voter's registration card that I used to have when I lived in Erie County 77834[/snapback] Who sent it to you? Go and call 'em up and find out. Each county is faced with a formidable task - for example, in Hamilton County OH (Cincinnati), where I reside, they send out 72 different absentee ballots and prepare the same number for the various polling places (each community has it's own tax levy issues, school levies, etc.). I did receive by mail today, from same, a 5 1/2 by 8 1/2 card, clearly showing my polling place, date of election, poll hours, phone number if one has questions, and a very informative web site - check it out if you have an interest...no excuse for saying "I was disenfranchised!!!"...but I'm sure the shouts will occur afterwards. Sad, how society drives itself to the lowest common denominator... http://www.hamilton-co.org/boe/

blzrul Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 According to the "CW" on other threads none of this should be a surprise to you. (sarcasm) In King County where I live some voters got TWO ballots. So I go back to my statements that until the Boards of Elections can stop the screwups you can't entirely blame for the voter for not always knowing what to do.
