Honesty Is The Only Policy
 

When it comes to Mail in ballots, we cannot insure honesty and equity without a system of standards. The Post Office postmark is an absolute must for the people of Virginia to have any confidence in the outcome of our elections. This should be true in this General Election this year and in any election in the future. 

ONE HAS TO QUESTION THE MOTIVES OF THOSE WHO SUGGEST NOT REQUIRING A POSTMARK FOR MAIL IN BALLOTS!!! 

Our goal should be transparency and integrity, not "How can we rig the system to win by hook or crook."
