    Absentee voters, (most are wealthy folks that don't want to hassle with the polls or are out of the country) know what their investments are. This was done on purpose. The envelope was covered in old stamps. Noone owns the most valuable stamps in the world without knowing today.

    Probably a joke on their heirs............... wasn't this exactly what Richard Pryor in Brewsters Millions did?

    Where do you get THAT information? Most absentee voters I've ever heard of are :
    - students
    - military
    - Oregonians

    As for knowing what the stamp is worth... what's the point, exaclty? I agree that one wouldn't have such a stamp and not know it was valuable in some way... and even if they DIDN'T know, why USE it to mail something? It's mind-boggling. Do you think they did it just to get attention?
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    From the text:
    Rodstrom said he did not examine the envelope's postmark, but it had no return address and the ballot was disqualified because it gave no clue as to the identity of the voter.

    Kewl... an invalid ballot. :p
