This morning I went to the post office here in Sacramento, CA to mail my absentee ballot.

I was informed that the 37 cent stamp I had placed on the envelope was not enough postage
to mail my vote, another 23 cents was needed. Nowhere on the ballot envelope or in the instructions
was it indicated that extra postage was required. I've spoken to many people who already have sent
their ballots off with only 37 cents postage who are now worried that their vote may not be counted .

Since I was starting work, I called the one person who I knew would check into this problem, my Mom.
She called to the Sacramento County Registrar's office and was told "the Post Office will deliver the ballots
with the lower postage." However, when she called to the Post Office, she was told that full postage ($.60)
was required to deliver our votes to be tabulated.

We don't want another Florida election. Please let all of your friends and family know that 60 cent postage
is required to mail their absentee ballots, so there will be no vote left behind.

1. The Leon County Florida absentee ballots...

...had clear instructions, indicating that 60 cents postage was necessary, but Ion Sancho is probably the best Supervisor of Elections in the state.
