Postmarks MUST be preserved!!
 

I am writing to demand that the State Board of Elections adhere to the law. The law is that a return envelope for an absentee ballot is required by law to have a postmark by 7PM on Election Day.  Do NOT change this law.  I demand that Absentee ballot return envelopes MUST have a proper postmark verifying that the absentee ballots are returned legitimately and on time. I also demand that the return time of absentee ballots not be extended!!

This is setting the table for potential voter fraud.  By allowing this you are undermining the sanctity of our vote!
