Snail Mail Election Fail: 21% Of Absentee Ballots Not Counted

t1larg.michellevotes.ofaA new report finds that 1 in 5 requested absentee mail-in election ballots never got counted in 2008, recommending that voters instead turn to polling places with electronic voting machines. So-called non-precinct voting has nearly doubled since 2000, rising from 14% to 28% in 2008.
