Summary[edit]

Description
English: The public domain article this photo illustrated stated:
"A voting drive was held Oct. 21 to assist Troopers who hadn’t received their absentee ballots within two weeks of the election. Two weeks is the minimum amount of time it would take a ballot mailed from Guantanamo Bay to reach a state voting agency.
"The ballots available at the voting drive were federal write-in ballots so Troopers needed to know which candidates they wanted to vote for before coming to the drive. They also needed to have state issued identification, such as a state driver’s license, and they needed to be registered to vote in that state as well.
"Once filled out, the write-in ballots were then flown off island the next day and mailed in the states to ensure timely delivery.
“Two hundred and five voters cast their votes on the back-up federal write-in ballot at the voting drive [Oct. 21],” said Richardson.
