A mysterious plane crash on October 19, 2012, just broke on Twitter tonight. This plane crash may have caused the destruction of some absentee ballots headed to troops in Afghanistan. Although only affecting one zip code, according to Yahoo! News, 4,700 pounds of incoming mail to the troops were destroyed.

This story is just breaking on Twitter, and it is creating a great stir. Many Tweets have expressed shocked disbelief, and many have hinted at the possibility of a nefarious conspiracy to destroy these military votes which are widely considered Republican shoe-ins.
