Brown says his experience in elections, especially campaigning for U.S. Rep. Jim Marshall, D-Ga., convinced him that voting by absentee ballot is a key part of Republican strategy.
"I think it's fair to say," he said. "They had an absentee ballot plan as part of their marketing and much more extensively than the Democrats."
And who can blame the GOP?
Absentee ballots have been very, very good to them.
The New York Times, after a six-month investigation into the 2000 election in Florida, reported in 2001: "Under intense pressure from the Republicans, Florida officials accepted hundreds of overseas absentee ballots that failed to comply with state laws."
The Times found 680 questionable votes from Americans living abroad.
"Although it is not known for whom the flawed ballots were cast, four out of five were accepted in counties carried by Mr. Bush," the Times wrote. "Mr. Bush's final margin in the official total was 537 votes."
