No to ballots received after election day
 

The proposed change to allow ballots to be received after election day reeks of election fraud setup/opportunity (as does any law for in-person voting that does not require identification).

All absentee ballots and mail-in ballots should have proof of identification of the voter, a USPS post mark, and be received by election day as has been done in the past.  Opportunities to vote in advance of an election now start months before the election. 

There is no excuse for a late ballot.

Please protect the integrity of our elections with proven, verifiable voting processes.  Do not allow the proposed change.
