Monday, Nov. 6, 1944 THE STARS AND STRIPES Page 3 GI Vote Can Decide Winner in Close Race
Total Ballots Standard Bearers in Wartime Presidential Election Seen Reaching 2,500,000 NEW YORK, Nov. 5 (ANS).—GI votes could be the determining fac- tor in the presidential election, it Is agreed at national campaign headquarters of the major political parties. If the race is close, the result might not be known for weeks. An estimated 4,300,000 ballots have been sent to eligible voters among the 11,000,000 men and wo- men in the armed forces and be- tween 2,300,000 and 2,500,000 of these probably will be returned. The exact number of war ballots cast may never be known, because some states do not count them separately. It is conceivable that the outcome, if the contest is a neck-and-neck affair, may not be known until Dec. 16, when Califor- nia will count its soldier vote. Pennsylvania, another pivotal state, will not list its soldier vote until Nov. 23. There are 12 states, with a total electoral vote of 126, which will riot record their soldier votes for vary- ing days and weeks after Nov. 7. The 12 states, dates when their absentee votes are listed and the number of their electoral votes, are as follows: Delaware, Nov. 9, three votes; Maryland, Nov. 9, eight; Missouri, Nov. 10, 15; Florida, Nov. 17, seven; Colorado, Nov. 22, six; Utah, Nov. 22, four; Pennsylvania, Nov. 23, 35; Washington, Nov. 27, eight; Rhode Island, Dec. 5, four; North Dakota, Dec. 5, four; Nebraska, Dec. 7, seven; California, Dec. 16, 25.
