TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Federal officials say that absentee ballots being sent to U.S. military serving in Afghanistan may have been burned in a plane crash.
A top official in the Federal Voting Assistance Program this week notified election officials across the nation that a transport plane crashed at Shindad Air Base on Oct. 19.
The crash resulted in the destruction of 4,700 pounds of mail inbound to troops serving in the area.

BTW the U.S. Military favors Romney 66% over Obama 26%. Makes me wonder if these ballots were on their way to an important election state.
