He does not own property in Florida. He uses Mom's address. Does your mom have a home in Florida? Would you like my mom's address? We can adopt you..then you can vote in Florida. By the way, my mom is very intelligent and also had trouble reading the Palm Beach Ballot. They made things more difficult when in the middle of the day they tried to explain how to read the ballot after receiving many complaints about the the alignment of the ballot choices. It may sound like we don't konw how to vote but there was more to it then what is publcized. We did not have the same problems in Broward. But counting the overseas vote was done. It was just the closest race in American History where just a few votes in Florida made all the difference. What we did learn in Florida is that our vote does count. We also learned that all votes did not get counted correctly because of a flawed and out-dated system of punch card technology. The media didn't help and FLorida has improved their technolgy. We could have used your 2 million votes overseas in Florida but I don't think that all 2 million Americans had as much trouble as you getting the chance to vote. I feel sorry that you did get the chance to vote but that does not mean that Americans living overseas were denied the right to vote. The past election is history, if you would like to be a part of our next election ..you too could be part of history. Ken
