Election integrity
 

Voting is a civic duty that must be taken seriously.  We need integrity in the entire process in order to ensure a valid outcome.  Photo IDs were excellent to identify the voter.  (Unfortunately, ID's are no longer required.)  Now we have those who promote the voter boxes and no post office stamp required.  This is not promoting integrity in the voting process, but rather fraud.  If a person really wanted to vote, there is plenty of voting times available before the general election.  On the election day, there is no reason why a voter could not return ballot by closing of the polls at 7pm.  Anyone who argues against this is just asking to invalidate the process!  Only postmarked ballots arriving by 7pm election day should even be considered!
