"Aware of the problems with the official e-mail system, Essex County Clerk Christopher Durkin suggested an alternative option: "Displaced voters can email a request for a ballot at cj_durkin@hotmail.com,"

WTF - using hotmail for something this important (not to mention government business)??!!??

[Speedy]

Hotmail can handle the volume, the government can't.
