NO change to current voter regulations!
 

You will hear "I needed those extra days... because" and "it is the fault of the postal service."  Absentee ballots are mailed out with enough time to return in a timely fashion.  If you delay, like paying a bill, you will pay a fine.  In this case you cause the nation to pay along side you! 

It is inexcusable to change the current legislation to allow for extra time allowances for those that procrastinate or fail to meet the deadline.  To move this time frame is just another crossed boundary to enable others who fail to meet obligations; it is a privilege to vote - use it or loose it but to delay because you failed is ludicrous!

This change can cause enormous room for illegal and unfair vote counts - from either side!!!
