I'm opposed to such moves to eliminate a requirement for a legible postmark on mail-in ballots and extending the time period for receipt well past Election Day. Such rules do little to increase access to voting (we already have extended advance in person balloting and it is not difficult to remember to mail an absentee ballot well in advance of the election) and greatly increase the opportunities and risks for accidental and deliberate fraud and misuse. I see no reason to add uncertainty to an already contentious voting process.
