Right to Have Your Vote Counted

Hi Everyone,

I recently read a newspaper article that absolutely stunned me. Then the more I thought about it, the more infuriated I became. The article was about a new report from the U.S. Election Assistance Commission. The report showed that in New York state---- only 73.9% of military and overseas ballots were counted last November. The national average is 93.2% which also gets my goat. Do the math, that means that 26.1% of the legitimate ballots are not counted. I am especially upset that NYS troops, in harms way, may not have their ballots counted.

Besides the fact that all legitimate votes must be counted, there is no common sense reason for not counting them. This is an outrage and should not be tolerated ever! All legitimate votes in all 50 states must be counted, period, end of story!

Til next week.

Peter
