Default Bush blocks website to foreigners

Bush's website is blocked to overseas visitors

FWIW, I can view it from Ontario. I'm guessing they made and exception for me?

The current plan is to make Ontario the 52nd state.

What is the deadline for overseas votes to be cast? Post-marked?

I think it varies depending on what state you're registered in. My overseas absentee ballot just has to be postmarked before election day...nothing stated about when it must be received. But my wife's (registered in a different state) has to be postmarked 2 days before, and received 1 day before. Or something like that.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Bush camp were trying to preclude a last-minute international DDS attack. Things have gotten very nasty of late.

that's the speculation. It's been asserted that it's over costs. I doubt that.

If it doesn't put you out, I'd be charmed to find out whatever costs how much money for an active web page.
