A Republican-generated effort to get out the vote for Georgia's December 2 Senate runoff election "has hit a snag as thousands of requests for absentee ballots have been denied because the applications were not signed," the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports.

This is just too funny for words. With all the bitching, moaning and complaining that whining republicans did over Acorn and their supposed concern about "vote" fraud, they can't even get their own mail-in ballots correct. The "goof" will cost them thousands of votes in the December 2 run-off. There is a God in heaven who is laughing out loud!

This is a perfect example of why Republicans shouldn't be put in charge of anything, They are completely incompetent!

COBB COUNTY: Ballot requests run into a glitch

A Republican-generated effort to get out the vote for the Dec. 2 runoff election has hit a snag as thousands of requests for absentee ballots have been denied because the applications were not signed.

County elections officials are contacting voters by mail, directing them to print applications from county or state election Web sites and fax them in by Wednesday.

Many of the unsigned requests came in the form of cards printed by the Republican National Committee and mailed to voters. Republican U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss is in a tight battle to retain his seat by beating Democratic challenger Jim Martin.

The signature line on the RNC cards is easy to miss since it appears after an entry asking voters to enter an address different from their permanent one. Georgia doesn’t require voters to give a reason for voting by absentee ballot.

Cobb County received about 7,075 of the cards from voters that were not signed, about 44 percent of the cards received. “We’ve never seen anything near that ratio,” registration manager Beth Kish said.

DeKalb County election officials have received 5,000 applications from the RNC mailing and rejected 2,800 of them.
