And it begins

Florida officials have reported that some 58,000 absentee ballots have gone missing. The Postal Service claims that they are not reponsible.

Broward County election official Gisela Salas said the situation was "something beyond our control".

"We really have no idea what's going on," she told the Associated Press news agency.

Think Republicans dislike trial lawyers? Think again! Republicans only dislike trial lawyers in the same way that they dislike the ACLU: Only when it suits their political needs to dislike them and when they have no use for them themselves.
