Election
I was speaking with the HH6 and we were talking about the election and the absentee ballots. With me being in the military and her away from home how do we know that our vote really counts? Whos to say that our ballot doesnt get held up somewhere? According to the media this election is a close one. I wonder if the Democrates are going to try and throw out the military absentee ballots like they have tried to in the past?

Re: Election
I wouldn't be surprised, especially with the polls saying members of the military overwhelmingly support McCain.
As to how you know for sure, I'm not confident that there is a way.

Just like there is no way to know if your ballot at the polling place counts. It's a leap of faith of sorts. Not that they deserve the trust however.
