 Absentee ballots returned to sender Votes boomerang thanks to automatic sorters When Phil Douglas went to the post office in Estero on Saturday to mail absentee ballots for him and his wife, he assumed their votes would be counted and began to focus on an upcoming trip. The votes were returned to his house, two days in a row. Turns out a design flaw in the envelopes causes post office machines to scan a voter's return address instead of the destination address. Postal officials were made aware of the issue Tuesday and have begun telling employees to watch for the ballots and sort them by hand to make sure they get to elections officials rather than the return address.
