Postmark Elimination
 

Why would you even consider eliminating one of the safeguards to voter fraud? Elimination of the postmark just opens one more crack in the safeguards against vote fraud. The election permits voting up to 7:00pm on the day of election. Postmarks is one way of insuring this deadline is met. Do Not do This. This has worked for many years to insure fair and honest elections why change? A public hearing should be held regarding this change.
