Er why would the attack ad recipient vote for my mother ?
I'm wondering if their is as easy way to see if Mother votes Tuesday.
So far Mother has received more than 5 items from the Republicans, all =
attack ads telling me Democrats are evil, none telling me what is good =
about the republicans or what they stand for , and 1 item from the =
Democratic State Senator. The Democrat sent a personal letter with a =
clipping written by someone with the same name as mother. A good move = to
build good will except it was the wrong person and arrived on or near = the
anniversary of Mothers death. Not because of this but I wish that = State
Senator would get some good competition sometime.

I do think there are valid concerns about the possibility of fraud.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A New Jersey congressman raised questions Thursday=20

Pentagon spokeswoman Cynthia Smith said the Defense Department has set = up=20
a secure absentee voter program that will allow military members to=20

people vote without relying on the regular mail system.
As part of the program, many states allow military members deployed=20

ballots, Smith said, will not pass through the hands of any government=20
