Democracy dying in Broward County

As you've probably heard, it's happening again in Broward County -- thousands of absentee ballots have gone missing. (Estimates vary between 10,000 and 78,000.) Local news coverage blames the post office, which is ridiculous. Those who asked for an absentee ballot cannot vote at the precinct unless they show their absentee ballot -- which they did not receive. For a good, full account of this "accident" and its ramifications, look here.
