THIS IS TOTALLY FALSE AND IS NOT THE CASE IN GEORGIA OR
IN ANY STATE.  ABSENTEE BALLOTS ARE AS LEGALLY PROTECTED
AND VALID AS ANY OTHER BALLOT AND ARE COUNTED AT CLOSE
OF POLLS LIKE ALL OTHER BALLOTS. 

I have witnessed first hand that every reasonable effort is made
to count every absentee and provisional paper ballot here in
Georgia.  My previous post to this thread has more details. 

Most likely is that this dis-information is FUD being distributed by
the manufacturers of electronic vote fraud systems like Diebold.
