Democracy

I was stunned in 2004, when my children who were attending college were not able to vote, BECAUSE Loren Lehman, the Lieutenant Governor at that time, put all absentee ballots in the mail with insufficient postage. They were held in the Post Office until the correct amount of postage could be added.

My children, and many others I'm sure, did not receive their absentee ballots in time to vote for President. What a disgrace! I did not hear an outcry about this from Anita Hales or anybody else. Oh and by the way Mr. Lehman is a Republican, just saying.
