Require proof of postmarked ballots by 7PM to be valid for elections:
 

The Virginia State Board of Elections does NOT have the authority to alter election law by regulatory action to no longer require a postmark on mail in ballots. By not requiring a postmark date we invite fraud. The integrity of our elections should be top priority so as to not disenfranchise all voters. As a concerned citizen I demand that the State Board of Elections adhere to the law and that a public hearing be held on this matter.
