Maintain Voting Integrity
 
No to the unlawful proposed regulation - Yes to maintaining the integrity of your vote
As a registered voter in the state of Virginia I am demanding that our votes be protected and integrity be maintained. No absentee ballots without a postmark on or before Election Day should be counted.  
 
There is plenty of time for voters to mail their absentee ballots and this whole proposal looks more like an attempt to create confusion and division.  If a citizen is unsure of its absentee ballot's fate, the voter is more than able to cast a provisional ballot on Election Day.  
 
This proposed rule will only undermine our faith in the outcome of this election.
