MUST BE POST MARKED
 

Ballots need to be postmarked by the time the polls close. Election day is November 3, 2020, not a variation thereof. In order to protect the integrity of our ballots, there must be accountability. How dare the public officials try to undermine security of our votes. As long as we are on the topic I firmly disagree that ballots be allowed to be postmarked on election day and received two and a half days later. The election process should be closed at the end of Election Day. All ballots should be received by the end of walk-in voting.
