Record Number of Requests for Absentee Ballots in all 67 FL Counties
This was the email tickler I received:
--------------------------
Early voting

All of Florida's 67 counties are now in the middle of early voting, and election supervisors have gotten a record number of requests for absentee ballots. Critics say it's because of a lack of confidence in the touch-screen voting system.
--------------------------

And this from Lee County's local NBC news site:

Including this quote: "Harrington also says she has seen more democrats requesting absentee ballots because they are leery of using the new touch screen voting machines."

1. My husband and I are in Orange County
We will be doing absentee ballot for the November general election. I'm going to do early voting for the upcoming primaries at a local library since the primaries are done on paper.

Would also like to do an absentee ballot ... though I do worry about it getting "lost" in the mail, so I'm torn.
