Voter Ballots MUST have the USPS Postmark to avoid even the appearance of SincssSiny voter fraud!
 

Since the Covid-19 percentage has gone down drastically  to a low 4.5%, there should be no need for any delay in our voting procedure.  People will be able to safely go to the polls with the accepted protocols or submit their request for an Absentee Ballot and either drop it off in designated ballot boxes or mail it by the postmark according to the now current deadline.  Eliminating the postmark only causes further disruption in the legal counting of the votes in a timely manner.  I personally don't think using the Covid-19 is a reasonable request, rather it makes me think that there is an ulterior motive to delay getting election results as quickly as possible!!  Don Crain
