Keep the post mark requirement.
 

I do not support changing the rules set forth currently regarding absentee voting, especially the requirement regarding when the ballot should be postmarked and how long after that postmark a ballot should be counted.  Changing the rules regarding such an important civic duty as voting, should require careful consideration and discussion, and not be made at the last minute based on rumors and speculation that has not been proven.  Those of us that play by the rules as they existed at the start of this election process need to be treated fairly.
