There is simply no reason to do this. It is an invitation for the integrity of the election to be questioned. Virginians have enough time to prepare for voting. An extension is not needed. The attempt to erase the proof of postmark is just dubious and raises a million issues that would certainly be litigated to oblivion (which perhaps is what some are planning).
We already have an emotionally-charged election. Why would you want to aggravate the situation in this way? Please leave the requirements as they are. Please allow the people of Virginia to vote without questionable interference from questionable public figures changing rules at this late hour.
This helps no one. It does not help minorities (I should point out as a minority myself). So, I hope we are not being used to promote this too. No one is asking for this, aside from political operatives.
