Wonder if they thought fighting tooth and nail to make sure every single count wasn't fully counted and verified was the right thing to do each time they heard another American had been killed in a roadside bomb and wondering it was their child.
shareAt 4:11 A.M. — more than nineteen hours after it began — the nightmarish battle over Duval’s military ballots finally came to an end. Duval was the last of Florida’s sixty-seven counties to complete the arduous task. When the canvassing board announced that the ballots of 149 soldiers, sailors, and airmen had been disqualified, a pair of jubilant Gore lawyers exchanged high-fives.
A Republican, visibly shaken by this sight, demanded to know how they could celebrate the disenfranchisement of U.S. military members risking their lives around the world. One of the Gore lawyers glibly replied: "A win’s a win."
Another example from Florida in 2000 that was cited in Sammon’s book was the ballot cast by Navy Lieutenant John Russell. His case made national news when his ballot was disqualified because it didn’t have a postmark. Lieutenant Russell’s ballot envelope didn’t have a postmark because it didn’t need a stamp. He mailed his absentee ballot from the U.S. Navy ship to which he was assigned. It arrived in Duval County, Florida, before election day, so there was no question regarding whether or not it was mailed in a timely manner. Still, it was disqualified because of a lack of a postmark.
