Absenteeism
Overseas Vote 2004 has had nearly 40,000 voters through their site so far to submit a Federal Postcard Application for their absentee ballot, over 1,500 from Australia alone, currently the 7th-ranked country, just after France, Japan, Germany, the U.S. itself, the U.K., and Canada, in ascending order. In the last week, it appears that every country has experienced a significant surge. In Australia, for example, an 58% increase, and in the U.S., an increase of over 100% - twice as many absentees getting their applications in than just one week ago. Now, since the Overseas Vote site is run by the DNC, it’s starting to look a lot like absentee ballots are going to be a crucial part of getting George II dethroned. Makes me proud to be an expat.
