thats wierd.  Our state posts the absentee ballot results as a seperate number before lumping them in with the booth counts.

Especially important in my state where so many people vote by absentee.  We have a senator, a governor, a state attourney general and several congressional seats opening up plus all the state elections.  Hard to see where the absentee ballot is not counted unless the vote is close.

Maybe your thinking about the military overseas ballots.

Anyway, Im going to check on it.

'True'  The associated press did a story about that in Jan or Feb of 2001 (we discussed the article in my American Politics class at the Academy).  I've been trying to find a link, but there's SO MUCH garbage to go through when you try and google words like 'absentee ballot' or '2000 election'.

Ofcourse, nobody ever did an official counting of the absentee ballots (would have cost too much money and wouldn't have made a difference in the states they were counted in).  The author just used past trends in absentee ballots as a whole to suggest that if they were counted, then it was a statistical certainty that Bush won the popular vote.
