1 out of 4 military overseas ballots not counted

It sucks, but is there really a better way?

You can't do anything about the 13,500 that were sent back incorrectly - that's just the fault of the voter. There are also quite a few that get sent out but not returned because the voter either loses the ballot, forgets about it, or decides to not vote.

As far as the rest, snail mail is always unreliable, especially if foreign mail systems get involved.

Does mail to US military personnel go through normal channels, or is there a special military mail service that keeps it in US hands for the entire journey?

Well getting them shipped out in due time would be a good start. Some ballots dident reach the troops in time to get filled out and returned in time to be counted.

BTW isint this mostly about then Franken race?
