More Florida Fun!

Read all about it

Right from the bowels of the Florida county that could not manage to punch a hole next to the candidate they wished to vote for, we have another Broward county Idiot Voter award.

One of the same geniuses who couldn't work the punch cards in 1999 seems to have mailed their absentee ballot using a stamp worth over $200,000. The stamp hasn't been authenticated, but there doesn't seem to be any other explanation for a 24 cent stamp. The hawk-eyed County Commissioner spotted the stamp, as he had dabbled in stamp collecting in his youth. In fairness (although I'm not sure fairness is deserved here) the article mentions that since these stamps are so valuable, fakes have been sold on eBay. Maybe this voter got a fake on eBay and decided to use it on his/her absentee ballot.

However, you will note that the article further explains the ballot was disqualified for having no name on the envelope, so Idiot Voter might very well have swiped a book of stamps from great grandpa's cherished collection and slapped one of them on the ballot. It all happened in Florida, after all....
