Election Day IS Election Day -
 

NO postmarks accepted AFTER Election Day.  We all KNOW when Election Day is and it is our civic duty to case our ballot that day and if unable to do so, absentee ballot and only those postmarked BY Election Day should be accepted.  Don't change something that has worked for years to something that causes chaos and uncertainty.  Voting is a right that we should not make take for granted and make easy.  ELECTION DAY is ELECTION DAY stand in line and be counted like generations have done proudly.  NO TO LATE POSTMARKS!!
