There is no reason to accept ballots that don't have an Election Day postmark. Further, any ballot that is not appropriately signed and verified as a legitimate registered voter should not be acceptable either. The American people are not idiots and can certainly obtain a legitimate absentee ballot and follow the instructions and get it postmarked/mailed prior to, or on election day. We must ensure the integrity of our elections and allowing this to go forward is trying to change a process that has worked throughout our history. Too much fraud can happen when you try to circumvent the process!
