Deliver de letter, de later de better.

Or Never...

A reader sent me an email telling me that a relative of theirs (a Cape resident) filled out an application for an absentee ballot requesting that it be sent to a Rochester address . However , it was sent to their Cape Vincent Address instead .
A family member took the ballot put it in an envelope on October 21, and sent it to the Rochester address.

After eleven days had passed and the envelope containing the Ballot had not reached Rochester, they called the Board of Elections .


I am happy to report that the Board of elections immediately dispatched a new ballot to the Rochester address and their relative has cast their vote.

Today after being, missing for fourteen days the envelope was returned to their Cape Vincent address marked undeliverable wrong zip code.

My reader said that they do not know why the post office returned the envelope they double-checked and the letter was addressed correctly including the zip code.

Nothing definitive here. Mistakes happen.
At least it shows diligence. Something those who would like to see all the absentees votes disappear didn't count on either, I would imagine. My guess is, if it's all kept honest, we'll see that last of this fiasco soon.
