Please keep the integrity of the voting in Virginia and do not change our Virginia voting laws by counting any ballots after the election deadline that do not have a postmark date of the election day or earlier. This, at the very least, will create suspicion of fraud, and at its worst, the ability to create actual fraud. Either way, it erodes the credibility of the our voting system and people will not trust the results. There is wisdom in having a set election voting deadline, please respect this wisdom and keep the integrity of the system as more important than any possible reason for changing this. Thank you.
