Absentee ballot had stamp that could be rare, valuable 'Inverted Jenny'

The stamp, similar to one sold in mint condition for $525,000 last year, was canceled. So was the ballot, which contained no clue to the identity of the voter.

How much is one vote worth?
In the case of an absentee ballot and an antique stamp, it could be hundreds of thousands of dollars.
That's the value of a 1918 Inverted Jenny, one of the rarest stamps in the world, which Broward County elections officials said was affixed to an envelope containing an absentee ballot.

I just read -- this is an unbelievable screw up...the person could be shown to be the owner through dna if they licked the back of the stamp, but it may be too late anyway.
