Absentee ballots mailed by Florida elections supervisors too late for possibly thousands of voters to return them on time should still count, the American Civil Liberties Union argued in a federal lawsuit filed Tuesday. (See below for more on Florida's late-mailed ballots)

I happen to agree with the ACLU on this matter. Ever since the State of Florida was hit by several hurricanes, the state should allow those who used the absentee ballot to vote, should be counted. I do believe that the ACLU is correct in suing the State of Florida, because of the fiasco that took place during the 2000 elections in which then Vice President Al Gore won, but had the election stolen fron him. I am certain that many Floridians did get their ballots late and the mess that was made by the hurricanes, did not help matters, but made them worse. Now is the time for the Governor of Florida, Jeb Bush to authorize the counting of the ballots that arrive at the election office to be counted as long as they are postmarked by November 12, 2004. This should make everyone happy.
