Shameful proposal to accept late absentee ballots.
 

What a ridiculous proposal! Yes, voting is a right, but every right has responsibilities! Like being on time for your job (or having your pay docked), paying your taxes by April 15 (or facing interest and/or penalties), turning in school assignments by the due date (or having your grade lowered), getting to the airport in time to catch your flight (or missing your flight), just to name a few examples. Are you trying to say the voters in VA are so irresponsible that they can't figure out how to vote anytime during the SIX WEEKS that voting is offered??? Or, do you just think we're stupid?

Of course, there is another reason the Democrats in our VA government are pushing this shameful proposal - it invites FRAUDULENT VOTING!!! 

This proposal is not needed, facilitates wide-spread voter fraud, and could possibly lengthen the time required to determine the outcome of the election! Remember how we all made fun of Florida in 2000? Are we to be next??? THROW AWAY THIS STUPID PIECE OF CRAP!
