MIAMI (Reuters) - A Florida voter may have unwittingly lost hundreds of thousands of dollars by using an extremely rare stamp to mail an absentee ballot in Tuesday's congressional election, a government official said on Friday.

The 1918 Inverted Jenny stamp, which takes its name from an image of a biplane accidentally printed upside-down, turned up on Tuesday night in Fort Lauderdale, where election officials were inspecting ballots from parts of south Florida, Broward County Commissioner John Rodstrom told Reuters.

1. the question remains, was it a Dem or a Rep? you know what I think!

And to me, the middle aged man that spotted it sounds uncaring that some family had this valuable item and now it's gov't property and finders keepers. To me, being that it's worth so much, it should be returned. At least he didn't steal it, I give him that.

4. I'm betting it was a counterfeit because the envelope didn't even have a name

Someone in South Florida wanted to create a news story and they succeeded.
