Thousands of Mailed Ballots in FL Were Not Counted

Over a Month after Election Day, the drama in Florida still hasn’t Completely Subsided.

Florida Officials say Thousands of Mailed Ballots were Not Counted because they were Delivered too Late to State Election Offices.

The Department of State last week informed a Federal Judge that 6,670 Ballots were Mailed ahead of the Nov. 6th Election but were Not Counted because they were Not Received by Election Day.

The Tally prepared by State Officials includes Totals from 65 of Florida’s 67 Counties.

Three Statewide Florida Races, including the Contest for Governor, went to Recounts because the Margins were So Close.

Under Florida Law, Ballots Mailed inside the United States must reach Election Offices by 7pm on Election Day.

Overseas Ballots are Counted if they are Received up to 10 days after the Election.

A Veterans Group and Democrats Challenged the Law in Federal Court.

How to Track Your Florida Vote-by-Mail Ballot Request and Returned Ballot

Any Voter who has Requested a Vote-by-Mail Ballot can Track Online the Status of their Ballot through a Link within the Division of Elections' Voter Information Lookup or through their County Supervisor of Elections' website.

If the Voter decides to go to the Polls to Vote instead, the Voter will still be able to Vote a Regular Ballot if the Supervisor of Elections' Office is able to Confirm that it has Not Received the Voter's Vote-by-Mail Ballot.

However, if it is Confirmed that the Voter have already Voted a Vote-by-Mail Ballot, the Voter Cannot Vote Again at the Polls.

If the Voter believes or insists that the Supervisor of Elections' Office is Wrong about Receiving the Vote-by-Mail Ballot or if the Supervisor of Elections' Office cannot Confirm that the Voter has already Voted an Vote-by-Mail Ballot, the Voter is allowed to Vote a Provisional Ballot.
