Via Wired News, Kim Zetter:

I'm receiving e-mail from a number of readers who have not received absentee ballots they requested or who mailed in their ballots but had the ballot returned to them by the postal service.

A reader has pointed me to this site for overseas voters, which discusses back-up ballots for those who requested an absentee ballot but did not receive one. The rules vary state by state but in some locations you can actually fax your back-up ballot to election officials.

The site only discusses overseas voters so if you're in the U.S. and did not receive your ballot you should check with your local election office about what you should do. You should not be denied the right to vote because election officials failed to send you your ballot in time.

He was quoted by the Washington Post's web site as saying that the report will conclude that "the threat of a new, major terrorist attack on the United States is still very real," because the nation are still "dangerously vulnerable" when facing threats of nuclear, chemical or biological weapon held by terrorists.
