No postmark - Not a vote!
 

If our taxes must be postmarked by the date they are due in order to count, why not our votes?

It is vital to our country to have confidence in a fair election system.  If there is no postmark or proof the vote is submitted by Election Day, it undermines the confidence people have in their government.

If the Board of Elections is unable to collect and count our votes in a timely organized manner, maybe they should be replaced with more competent personnel.

There should definitely be a public hearing over this ridiculous proposed change.
