Are absentee ballots counted? If so how when...?

Absentee ballots are often tossed.  Make sure you call to see if your vote was counted.

No HIPAA has nothing to do with voting by absentee. Anyone really can vote absentee. And no absentee ballots are kept in your Hospital charts.

No.  The only way would be if you kept the stub they gave you and were given access to the ballots.  I think you would need a court order to do that if they still exist.  Yet we believe the votes are being accurately counted, even after Florida and Bush's first election.  Scary!!!!!

My concern remains - what keeps someone from going poll-to-poll and "registering" several times?  I know my polling places don't have a computer link-up to a central database.  Heck - they barely got the touch-screens working.\n\nThis might not be happening right now, but can we guarantee it won't happen?\n\nBut my family is from Louisiana - if you want election fraud, we can give you a Doctoral Dissertation on the subject.

To answer your question:  Unless your county clerk's office has it online, that's it, probably nowhere else!\nMy county clerk has the COUNTY specific ballot online, but I just called them and they told me "only when precinct committeement offices are up for election do we print a precinct specific ballot for a 'sample'. " And right now, we only have county and statewide offices up for election.\nSo, hope that helps you out.

Each state sets it own requirments. I live in North Dakota, all we have to do is show proper ID at the correct polling location. They check it against the previous voter list. If you have moved since the last election, they add you to the list. This is different than most states, but it works here.

You may a good point. Additionally, due to "possible" errors with the voting machines, it is be recommended by both parties to take a camera with you to the polling place. Make very sure that when you make your vote, that it registers the way you voted and take a photo for your own records.\nMost importantly, don't forget to vote.

The absentee ballots have to be rec'd by tomorrow. There is a press release already written blaming unexpected results on late absentee ballots. Smell something burning?

To get your name on any ballot, you just need to go to the agency behind that office.  If its Mayor you would go to your cities offices.  If its Govenor, you would go to the state offices.  And by the way, misspelling the word 'the' is not a stupid mistake, its one caused by typing too fast.

They couldn't find the name of the guy in line in front of me on the voter registration rolls, so he signed in as a Provisional voter.\n\nI live in a strongly democratic area, and have never witnessed election fraud of any kind.\n\nI've always voted by marking a ballot with a felt-tipped pen -- no paperless voting; therefore, I'm confident my votes are always counted.\n\nToo bad this ISN'T the norm.

CNN is constantly televising the fact that the DIEBOLD machines are too easily manipulated. Democrats (not Republicans), tried to get a Bill in place so that paper ballots could also be used at polling places. To be funded by the Govt. The Republicans squashed it in Congress, overriding it with their majority vote.  The problem of the hanging chads was favored to be Democratic-favored-territory, not Republican, and yet Republicans won in many of those counties. Coincidence?? How about all the missing ballots or overseas absentee ballots that never got counted. Voter manipulation is one of the 14 signs of fascism. We now have about 12 out of 14 in the US. Next time, vote absentee ballot, for the paper trail. I suspect we will have major problems come election day. Then hopefully, something will be done before the 2008 General Election.

The most important benefactor to the voting process is the person doing the voting. There is a disconnect between those who don't vote and the society around themselves. It's a symptom of diminished self-image ..... ie., "My voice isn't important enough to count," vs. "Even if my voice isn't heard by the masses, I'll speak up." As for me, I hate politics, but I love our system. I don't believe in being a victim by default. Hey look, I spoke up. Does this count as a vote?

Just go to where you should vote and show them your ID.  They probably have you on the list, unless that "volunteer" was not really working for voter registration after all.  \n\nI'm sure the girl from the feminist majority league voted for you already.  They're very helpful in that way.  So don't worry, your vote was already counted.

I have no confidence that our vote counts after my 4 year study on voter fraud, years work as a voting rights activist, ease with which the machines can be hacked without seeing the sourcecode (which we don't) and this kills me since I from a kid of 10 in the 50's loved politics And always voted.  I was taught about our wonderful democracy which I no longer believe exists.\n\nStill I vote..because the more people that vote dem the harder it is to get away with  vote fraud (and explaining away wrong exit polls which are historically extremely accurate...that is the more people that vote, the higher the chance the vote will be democrat) though it will still be rigged, the soil is more fertile for discovering vote fraud and lawsuits.\n\nAlso because people died for the right for me to vote and I feel it is my sacred duty even though it is stolen from me electronically.\nWe must be true to our character and country.\n\nBut I highly recommend being involved in other ways as an activist, informing people of voter fraud and glitches, participating in citizen run parallel elections at the polls and recording proceedings and helping as a poll-worker.\n\nAlso call your congressman and ask then to cosign and support house bill (HB 6200) to make all future presidential elections be paper ballots hand counted at the precinct to restore the true will of the people and transparency..doing this will do more than voting will.
