Postmarks by 7pm Election Day Must Be Required
 

The State Board of Elections MUST follow current law.  Changing the rules will most certainly open the door to fraudulent votes. Regular pieces of mail require a postmark, votes should be no different.  Postmarks must be required for any vote received after Election Day.  Such a dramatic change to the voting laws MUST require a public hearing.
