DO NOT remove the requirment for readable postmark by 7 pm on election day
 

Removing the requirement for mail in ballots to have a readable postmark by 7pm on election day opens up a window for voter fraud. The integrity of our elections is paramount and we should be making every effort to ensure we know who is voting and that they have voted by election day. Also, remove the drop boxes-they are not needed!!!
