Leon County, Florida’s mail ballot envelope design placed the words “return service requested” 0.236 inches away from its election office’s return address, when it was supposed to be a quarter-inch, leading the USPS to reject it on September 2, the Tallahassee Democrat reports. The county’s supervisor of elections, Mark Earley, called it “ridiculous.”
After Earley’s office filed an appeal, the envelope design was eventually accepted.
“After several requests to postal employees today, I was granted a temporary certification for my envelopes in case the rule goes into effect. If the rule does not go into effect, then my envelopes are completely fine. So either way, we are good this election!” Earley told the Democrat in an email, referring to new USPS design rules resulting from President Trump’s executive order restricting voting by mail.

I think Obama won Florida at least in 2008, but yeah since 2000 they’ve been republican with that exception.
No, Bush literally lost the vote in Florida but the Supreme Court “overturned” the result. There is no democracy in Republican America.
I know, when saying since 2000 I meant after that point I should have been more clear.
They did a lot of cheating there and elsewhere. Faulty machines in dem districts, the hanging chad thing. But in Miami Dade, they destroyed ballots. Then shut down the count with the so called brooks brothers riot.
Bush’s fans basically fillibustered the recount with court challenges while threatening violence, and who on the supreme court endorsed them? The now lionized Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Nortorious indeed, rot in hell bitch.
Well, he would have lost with a full, state-wide recount, however at the time of the ruling it was simply “stop trying to recount”. So Bush had ‘won’ the vote at that point, to the best of anyone’s knowledge at the time.
