Special Session to Stop this Proposal
 

We the people Demand and Special Session to Stop and Correct this Proposal.

I just checked out current Deadlines.

IF we can't Vote In Person AFTER the Saturday Before the Election - The Mail In Deadline should be the SAME - Ballots need to be Received No Later than the Saturday Before the Election.

This isn't rocket science - Deadlines need to be "when Received in the Registrars Office" so there's adequate time to confirm they are proper and confirm they are counted.

Post marks, and acceptance 3 days After the Election is not acceptable - what's the point in "Closing the Polls" at 7:00pm on Election day, IF they can still trickle in After Polls are Closed?  Defies all reason.

Respectfully, Ann Marie Parker
