Preserve Election Integrity! REQUIRE post marks!
 

It is absurd to try to change the rules of an election only months before an election. It's clearly a terrible idea to allow ballots to come in after election day and without so much as a post mark. Protecting the integrity of our election system is fundamental to our democracy and people of BOTH sides of the isle (and those in between) should be shocked and alarmed by the partisan proposed changes. If The People really want this change, it should be thoughtfully deliberated in the legislature and implemented when there is more time to properly do so.
