Elimination of voting post mark requirement
 

The integrity of our elections in November is of the utmost importance.  I am against the allowance of mail in voting.  Absentee voting should be the only alternative to voting "in person."  The integrity is already in jeopardy with the mail in voting and now you want to do away with the post mark requirement?  This is absolutely absurd.  There should be a post mark cut off date of at least seven days prior to the election date so that the predominance of the mail in votes would be in the hands of the so called counters to be tallied.  What is the point of scheduling an election if that date doesn't matter? Stop trying to destroy our nation!
