Material Ommission on Absentee Ballots
 

Enough with this modern day cheating/manipulation! To solve this problem, EVERYONE should try to vote in person if possible or provide voting Buses  to accomodate unfortunate/rural/harship communties (everyone with an acceptable ID should be able to vote whether the penmanship is awful or not). (JOBS CREATED!!!!!)

For those who cannot, the absentee ballot is AND SHOULD be a tool for our voices to be heard and COUNTED.  As long as the person is registered and an official ballot was mailed to them, then that should be sufficient for a counted vote. Whether the signature is legible or not, as long as the person PRINTS his name correctly, then what's the problem.

Enforce this: if all attorneys or MDs signed their name with the penmanship of a toddler, then they should not be granted the BAR or a medical license......hmmmm....!!!!
