2. Emails sent to and from Hamilton County Election Board

Emails!

I sent an email on Nov. 8th to the Hamilton County Election Office asking for confirmation that my vote was counted. Three hours later I got this response:

M******,
Every time we received an emailed ballot & ABS-9, we sent a confirmation email.  I show that we emailed your ballot to you on 10-10-12, as soon as your voter registration status became active.  I do not see an email from you, either in my personal email box or the Election Office inbox, sending us your emailed ballot.  The deadline to receive was noon Election Day, November 6.  I am very sorry.

Naturally, I'm upset by this, I send back this email later that night, forwarding my original email (names removed):


Hello again,

Excuse me but I voted and I have the email right here to prove it below! What are my options in getting my vote counted?

Subject: Oversea Voter Absentee Ballot Attached

Hello back in Indiana,

My Absentee Ballot is Attached, if you could send me an email confirming that you got this and counted it that would be great. I've attached the ballot twice, it both loose (5 different files) and also in a zip folder (MR_Vote.zip: has all 5 pages in it).

Thank you so much and hope your day isn't too frantic!

I received no response from that email, so on the evening of November 12th I forwarded my original email again with my vote attached again and attached this message:

Hello again,

I would appreciate a response to my previous email. I know none of my emails were bounced because my email account always informs me if the email didn't get through. What are my options in getting my vote counted?

It is now the end of the day on November 14th with no response from either of my follow up emails. I'm looking into contacting other organizations. They picked the wrong person to mess with!
