From USAToday 11/20/00:

“To support their allegations of a Gore campaign to toss military ballots, Bush campaign workers faxed reporters a memo they said they obtained from Democratic count-watchers.
But the memo does not specifically instruct Democratic observers to target military ballots. Rather, in three pages of boilerplate language that appears to have been lifted directly from instructions that elections officials provide to absentee voters, it describes who qualifies as a legitimate overseas voter and what the voter s' ballots must include to comply with the law. (emphasis added)

…Though Republicans argued over the weekend for bending the postmark rules for military ballots, before the weekend's count they insisted that the postmark rules be strictly followed.”
