Hearing about this sort of attempt to limit absentee voting, added to the dysfunctionality and stonewalling behavior in Congress, is disheartening to the point where I am beginning to feel that I'm no longer proud to be an American. I strenuously object to this latest gimmick to limit voters' rights. Have the courage to let the candidates win or lose on their own merits, not by rigging the system with maneuvers such as disallowing absentee ballots for sloppy signatures.
