Require Voting Day Postmark
 

Please do not change the law to allow for absentee ballots to be counted that have been received (postmarked) after 7:00pm on election day, November 3, 2020. Maintaining the integrity of our elections this year is especially important. There is enough distrust and concern as to whether our votes will matter. Allowing this change would cause more distrust of the process and of our elected representatives.
