Do Not Eliminate the Postmark Requirement for Absentee Ballots
 

First it was "no voter ID required" at polling places, and now you want to eliminate the requirement to have mailed absentee ballots postmarked? This is a step too far and opens up Virginia elections to fraud. Please keep some semblance of fairness and validity in our elections--do not enact this proposed change.
