Military members serving in areas which warrant hazard pay (such as the 
Balkans) are accorded a franking privilege similar to that accorded Members 
of Congress.  Franked Mail is not postmarked

Military personnel serving at sea and in remote areas are not accorded daily 
mail pick-up and delivery and, therefore, are not always in control of the 
postmark affixed to their mail.

It is my understanding that the Florida Attorney General has today pointed 
this out to the County canvassing boards and asked that they count those 
ballots which are appropriately signed and dated.

It's probably prudent to point out that not all absentee ballots from 
overseas are from military personnel .....
