Preserve the postmark
 

Virginia’s is setting the table for potential voter fraud.  By doing away with the requirement that absentee ballots be returned by 7PM on Election Day, by extending the return time to Friday at Noon, by first requiring a postmark by 7PM on Election Day, and then attempting to erase proof of postmark, we are putting ballots at risk of cancellation by a fraudulent ballot.
