As it happens, I very recently moved from Orlando, FL to Henderson, NV. Wanting to be able to vote in the national election, I filled out the Absentee Ballot Request form. The form had a place to enter my Florida address, and a place to enter my non-Florida address to which I wanted the ballot sent. It happens that I was still paying rent in Orlando so technically my address was valid. This was about a month ago. Well, time passed. I had a gallstone attack, I went in for surgery, and I spent a lot of time in bed, in pain. When I was finally well enough to walk to my apartment complex's mail room, I did not find my ballot waiting for me.
So I called the Orange County Supervisor of Elections. The person who answered the phone informed me that it was too late to request a ballot. After repeating to her that I'd already requested the ballot, she checked their records and informed me that it was sent to my Florida address. Does anyone see a problem here? I asked her to re-send it. This was on Thursday. She informed me that she would send it again but that it probably wouldn't get to me on time. I thanked her. Click. She'd hung up the phone.
