Beware!!!! What you are looking at is a Official Absentee Ballot Request Card in a certain county in Florida. Pretty isnt it? It comes in two attached pieces with a perforation allowing you to tear off the bottom portion (shown) place a stamp on the other side which is pre-addresed to the Supervisor of Elections Office in your county. Just drop it in the mail box..right? Problem? Yep. This little post card gives a Identity Thief all the information he could ever ask for! And it even make you sign! The Thief now has your signature to boot! See no longer does a Thief have to forge your signature....copy and paste. The only info that is NOT requested is your Social Security Number but that will be easy to find with all the other information. So you put this postcard in the mail as is, all your info available for anyone to see. Now lets hope it makes it to the address it suppose to. Lost, mishandled,stolen, sold info? The possibilities are unlimited and to mail this card is 100% unsafe and I would NOT do it. You have to be crazy!!!! The bandits are already looking and making deals to get this information and your just gonna hand it over? Look at the form at what you have to fill out! Why? The county mailed you the form so they know your address. The The State and County know your D/L number, they gave it to you. The know your stats, your registered. They know your a voter or else you would not have gotton the card to begin with. This is Nuts!
Now we have to ask ourselves what Genius designed this card? Have they never heard of Identity Theft? We shread our mail and personal documents yet they want you to give it all up on a Postcard? Am I trusting in the Supervisor of Elections as a educated protector of the public when they may have been the person who formated this card? After all their name is on the card and so is their address thus responsibility. Warning do NOT mail this card your could be setting yourself up for Identity Theft and its obvious!!!!
This is a county in Florida and I am not aware of other states proceedures or mailings but if they are the same....Dont Mail It.!!!!

This is shocking that our state and county officials could be so unaware as to the dangers of this type of form. It is as if they have no idea what identity theft is. Who ever designed this should be removed. Remarkable. Thank you for bringing this out to the public.
