ABSENTEE BALLOTS ARE STARTING TO FLOODING ELECTION OFFICES.
MORE THAN ONE MILLION HAVE BEEN COUNTED IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA.
BUT SOME VOTERS ARE CONCERNED--DID THEY GET THE POSTAGE RIGHT?
CHRISTINA LUSBY IN THE STUDIO TO ANSWER THAT.
CHRISTINA.
Return to index of stories...
CORRECT POSTAGE OR NOT--YOUR BALLOT WILL BE DELIVERED AND COUNTED.
BUT--*SOMEONE HAS TO PAY FOR THE INCORRECT POSTAGE.
HERE'S HOW IT ALL WORKS.
Return to index of stories...
SIGNED---SEALED--BUT NOT DELIVERED JUST YET.
32:07 its a two page ballot this year so i was concerned the postage wouldn't be enough to send it 32:15
HAROLD STEINBERG WAS RIGHT.
HIS BALLOT FOR CHARLOTTE COUNTY--BIGGER THAN A NORMAL ENVELOPE.
SO HE NEEDS 65 CENTS.
33:25 since voting is so important i think this issue is an oversight 33:34 i think the envelope should have stated the 65 cent postage is required 33:37
EVEN WITH INCORRECT POSTAGE --YOUR BALLOT *WILL BE MAILED AND COUNTED.
THE COUNTY ELECTIONS OFFICES PAY THE DIFFERENCE.
WHICH MEANS--ULTIMATELY--TAX DOLLARS--WILL PAY FOR ALL THE MISSING STAMPS.
34:34 its good to know that but i think they should have been honest with people and say additional postage is required 34:39
A GOOD RULE FOR VOTERS WHO PLAN TO MAIL IN THEIR BALLOT THIS YEAR--
USE ONE STAMP PER BALLOT PAGE.
IF YOU WANT TO PAY THE EXACT AMOUNT REQUIRED--YOUR BEST BET IS THE POST OFFICE.
THAT'S WHERE WE MET PHIL FOTOPOLOUS--
HE HAS AN IDEA TO CLEAR IT ALL UP.
29:02 i think it should be free i think you should fill it out and put it back in the mail box 26:08
