The one litmus test I apply to any change to election law is "Does it benefit the voter?"
As a retired Navy Chief Petty Officer with over 20 years of service, I am very familiar with the obstacles that face our service members. As an election professional, I favor actions that will make access to the voting process easier, and this proposed action will benefit military and non-military voters.
Therefore, when applied to the proposed action, the answer to my question is an emphatic "YES!"
This is my personal view and does not necessarily reflect the opinion of anyone other than myself. However, I sincerely hope that enough people agree so that the proposed action becomes the norm.
