Change election laws
 

I object to changing the election laws to allow non-postmarked ballots to be accepted after 7 PM on election day. My objections are 2-fold. 1) It is too close to an election to be making such a change.  It gives the appearance of corruption. 2) Early voting started in September.  There is no reason that someone cannot have either voted in person or sent in their ballot in plenty of time.

I feel that there should be a public hearing on this matter.
