We send government representatives to foreign countries to oversee voter fraud and yet in our country we are deliberately trying to find ways around voter validation.  This is absolutely hypocritical.  All votes that are to be counted need to be verified that they were turned in by the date and time of election day. This actually protects both parties candidates as well as all the voters who participate in the process. No one can be accused of cheating the system and all votes can be accurately counted.
