Simon L. Sternin '01, a supervisor for the Harvard Square Homeless Shelter, explains his reluctance to leave: "My parents live in Burma, and I'm also a senior working on my thesis," Sternin said...

(Both parties in Florida mailed out thousands of partly completed applications for members to sign and return--a little end run around voter apathy.) In Seminole, when elections supervisor Sandra Goard noticed the omission, she put the forms in a pile to be tossed.

Robbins, the Martin County supervisor of elections, of the ballot forms (this was also true in Seminole County). "It only seemed logical to allow the Republican party to correct that mistake; the preprinted number was not received by the voter...
